Ship Recycling at Alang
ABOUT
Ship Recycling at Alang
A ship’s final voyage is not the end of its journey. At Salasar Balaji, we take ships that are past their prime and give them a new lease of life by deconstructing them and salvaging their valuable parts. We clean the old vessel of all hazardous materials, remove the equipment and goods left on the ship, such as machinery and fittings, and finally dismantle and recycle the entire ship’s infrastructure.

Even though ship recycling ensures that materials like steel are salvaged for re-use in other industries, it can pose unnecessary risks to workers and the environment. At our shipyard, we abide by the strict regulations of the Hong Kong Convention (2009). protecting our Salasar Balaji family and the fragile marine coast from hazardous waste, oil spills, and other dangers is always our top priority. Our dedication to health and safety goes beyond compliance – it’s our solemn commitment to our partners, workers, and the Earth.
Why Alang?
India is one of four countries that handle an estimated 85 percent of the world’s ship recycling by weight. We’re proud to be part of Alang in Gujarat, the world’s largest shipbreaking yard whose high tidal range, 15-degree slope, and mud-free coast make it easy for any ship, regardless of size, to beach with ease.
