Introduction
Alang Port, located on the western coast of Gujarat, has earned global recognition as one of the largest ship-breaking yards in the world. The port not only supports India’s maritime and industrial sectors but also plays a pivotal role in the global recycling of ships. For decades, Alang has been synonymous with ship dismantling, providing valuable steel and other materials that fuel industries across the country.

A Legacy in Ship-Breaking
Alang Port’s history as a ship-breaking hub dates back to the 1980s. With a coastline stretching over 10 kilometers, it hosts hundreds of dry docks where decommissioned ships from around the world are dismantled efficiently. The site is known for its skilled workforce and state-of-the-art facilities that allow for safe and environmentally responsible recycling of ships.

Contribution to Scrap Exports
The ship-breaking operations at Alang produce millions of tons of steel and other recyclable materials annually. A significant portion of these scrap materials is exported to various countries, contributing to India’s export revenue. The port has become a critical node for global scrap trade, supplying steel to nations with high industrial demand and supporting circular economy initiatives.

Sustainable Practices and Environmental Focus
While ship-breaking is a challenging industry, Alang has steadily advanced its practices to minimize environmental impact. Modern techniques ensure proper disposal of hazardous materials such as asbestos, oils, and chemicals. Recycling efforts at the port not only reduce waste but also support sustainable industrial growth by reintroducing raw materials into the manufacturing chain.

Economic and Employment Impact
Alang Port significantly boosts the local economy by generating employment for thousands of workers. Beyond labor, it supports ancillary industries such as transportation, logistics, and metal processing, creating a ripple effect in Gujarat’s industrial ecosystem.
