China to ban imports of waste foreign vessels for ship recycling
Date: Dec 26, 2018
China will ban imports of waste foreign vessels to protect the environment, China Daily reported on Dec 24.
The country’s ship-breaking yards, which have been tearing apart the world’s retired vessels from both civil and military sectors, and turning them into piles of steel scrap bound for mills for repurposing, will henceforth focus only on domestic ships.
