Alang’s FY25 dismantling lowest in a decade
 
Alang Ship Breaking Yard in Gujarat’s Bhavnagar district, home to the world’s largest stretch of ship-breaking facilities, beached 113 ships for recycling in FY25, the lowest in a decade, it is learnt. The comparable figures in FY24 and FY23 were 125 and 131 ships, respectively. At its peak some 15 years ago, Alang beached about 400 ships a year for recycling. The non-availability of a large number of end-of-life ships for recycling is attributed to high freight rates, said a report.
