Abstract
The majority of shipbreaking operations take place in developing countries, under conditions which are dangerous both to the health and safety of the workers and the local population. This paper addresses the legal framework which is in place currently to prevent and minimize ships being scrapped in developing countries as well as exploring the loopholes which shipowners are able to exploit. Suggestions on how to overcome these loopholes are mooted as well as looking to the developments of the law in this area.
