Alang Ship Breaking Yard Tourism

Type of destination: Ship Breaking Yard

Ideal visit duration: 2-3 hours

Closed in: Weekends

The Alang Ship Breaking Yard, located near Bhavnagar in Gujarat, India, is one of the world's largest ship recycling facilities. Stretching approximately 10 km along the coastline of the Gulf of Cambay, Alang has been a global center for ship breaking since the 1980s. Ships from around the world end their sailing careers here, getting dismantled for scrap metal and other salvageable materials. The yard recycles over a third of all ships worldwide, handling hundreds of vessels of various sizes each year. The process at Alang entails beaching the ship during high tide and then incrementally taking it apart. It's a complicated industrial process that requires skilled labor and adherence to safety and environmental standards. The Ship Breaking Yard has faced international scrutiny regarding environmental pollution and safety conditions for workers, and efforts have been made to adopt greener ship recycling practices.
