Alang - Ship Breaking yard




Heavy steel parts are cut and brought down from a shipbreaking plant in Alang. Alang, 50 km from Bhavnagar in east Gujarat was once India's largest ship breaking yard. But with Government tax policies and other environmental restrictions, the industry is in a very poor state. But recently the French ship Blue Lady was allowed to enter Alang by the court, paving way for a new begining.
