Do ships, like other vehicles, get recycled? What are the materials that get recovered? Are there legal frameworks in the Middle East to govern ship recycling? To know the answers to these questions, listen to the latest Expert Talk episode on Trash Matters, where Satyajit Roy, Director, EEC Trading, Elegant Exit Company BV, speaks to Swaliha Shanavas, on Ship Recycling and more.
