Good day to all,  
Shipbreaking / ship recycling unfortunately remains a dark and uncontrolled activity.  
The below interesting infographic summarizes very well the toxic practices.

Hi Oswald,  
This is very interesting!  
Especially now with the ratification of the Hong Kong International Convention for the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships that aims to ensure that ships, when being recycled after reaching the end of their operational lives, do not pose any unnecessary risk to human health and safety or to the environment.
