“…The approach found concentration above threshold values, impacting coastal ecosystems and risking community livelihood. Most of the major shipbreaking nations including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Turkey have conducted pollution assessment research (Islam and Hossain 1986, Neser et al 2008, 2012a, 2012b (2016) and Ko et al (2015). found that impact occurred by the release of waste directly to the surrounding is minimal and that most impact is found to be related to the downstream rerolling mills due to energy consumption.…”

“…Similarly, in Bangladesh, environmental impacts were recorded in different cities, one around shipbreaking industry and the other without shipbreaking, to understand the share of pollutants that are due to the shipbreaking(Kibria et al 2016). Disciplinary trade-offs are also investigated in several articles: local environment vs local economic benefits(Ko et al 2015), adjusted ecoefficiency(Ko and Gantner 2016), environmental impacts and occupational risks(Deshpande et al 2012), dry-dock or sail-in berth method in China(Du et al 2017), cost-benefit and life cycle assessment approach(Choi et al 2016). This source-specific pollutant estimation and trade-off focus may provide nuance environmental understanding of the context in which shipbreaking activities are performed.…”

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.

“…Energy efficiency techniques could reduce large amounts of emissions and environmental impacts because the majority of emissions come from the fuel combustion in ship operation. 3,31,32 Nevertheless, when these techniques are applied, some special equipment and systems such as air-lubrication systems and pipe systems (for air lubrication techniques), solar power systems (for solar-powered ships) and so on need to be installed. These installations lead to an increase in the light displacement tonnage (LDT) of ships and consume more energy and materials.…”

Life-cycle assessment has been widely applied in many industry sectors for years and there are some applications of this method in the shipping sector. Fuel consumption and material consumption are considered as crucial factors in the life cycle of ship. This study uses the life-cycle assessment method to show the effects of fuel consumption reduction and light displacement tonnage on the environmental performance of ships. This is done by comparing the environmental impacts of 25 investigated scenarios with different fuel consumption and light displacement tonnage. CML2001 methodology is used to evaluate the impact assessment and the results are calculated using GaBi software. The results show that fuel consumption reduction could cut down the environmental impacts. However, some scenarios are not environmentally beneficial due to the increase in light displacement tonnage. The effects of fuel consumption and light displacement tonnage on 12 CML2001 environmental indicators are different. It is recommended that the life-cycle assessment method should be used to fully assess the environmental impacts of ships before applying any techniques in order to achieve the environmental benefits.
