“…The literature on environmental dimensions demonstrated that shipbreaking activities discharge pollutants to coastal ecosystems and aimed to highlight environmental impacts for policy makers at national and international levels. All shipbreaking nations have conducted environmental pollution research to identify sources of pollutants, with varying levels of precision (Aydin et al 2014, and impact assessments (such as life cycle assessment) at the process level , Deshpande et al 2013). In addition, recent efforts to identify waste content inside EOL ships signifies a shift to more detailed environmental data that can be used to formulate more effective policies (Jain et al 2016, Hiremath et al 2015.…”

Shipbreaking research has not been in the forefront until the last decade in which environmental and occupational hazards have been highlighted while economic sustainability and contextual conditions were not equally considered. The adoption of a triple bottom line approach across core business issues (environmental impacts, workplace safety ) as well as peripheral stakeholders expectation (environmental sustainability focus) has been retarded due to the less attention on the latter. Based on the findings of the 128 review papers, the study suggests that organizational learning and economic sustainability needs to prioritize through the formation of strange alliance among the stakeholders. The study argues that the dialogue and discussion on the peripheral stakeholders (NGOs, yard managers, national and international policy organizations) would lead to a more sustainable shipbreaking industry in the south Asian regions.

“…Metal cutting activities dominate 71% of the total labor force. These activities pose risks to cutters and helpers due to inhalation of fumes released during cutting (Deshpande et al 2013. The connection between asbestos exposure and cancer detection was also studied on 4427 shipbreaking workers in Taiwan from 1985-2008, and the authors recommended continuous monitoring of workers for early detection of asbestosis and cancer (Wu et al 2013(Wu et al , 2015.…”

The shipbreaking industry is located predominantly in South Asian countries, and dismantles end-of-life ships to meet national steel demand. There are charges that this industry exploits local environmental, economic and social conditions to boost profits. The majority of this previous research often draws from a single disciplinary point of view that ignores or downplays complexities and trade-offs, precluding realistic policy improvement. Here we review 110 shipbreaking papers published in international peer reviewed journals that are indexed in SCOPUS, Science Direct and Google Scholar. We found that to date, shipbreaking research revolves around the coastal contamination of end-of-life ships waste over many other topics, and lacks critical interdisciplinary studies that explain trade-offs between environmental, social and economic factors that would better inform policy formulations for improvement of worker safety and environmental conditions. We propose a Life Cycle Sustainability assessment (LCSA) framework that could incorporate these trade-offs in a single analysis. We hope this review guides future studies towards more comprehensive sustainability measurement of shipbreaking activities.

“…In recent years, however, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has officially adopted an initial strategy aiming at reducing Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions from shipping by 50%, compared to 2008 levels, by 2050, and to work towards phasing out them entirely by the end of the century (MEPC, 2018). As a consequence, developing new technologies able to both improve the design of the ships and to maintain their efficiency becomes a crucial issue (Deshpande et al, 2013). In this work, much attention was focused on the problem of keeping the ship as much efficient as possible by estimating the degradation state of its components, with the consequent performance loss and fuel consumption increase (Krozer et al, 2003).…”
