#shipbreaking #alang #ship
Alang is a census town in Bhavnagar district in the Indian state of Gujarat. Because it is home to the Alang Ship Breaking Yard, Alang beaches are considered the world's largest ship graveyard.The name of Capt. N. Sundaresan will be remembered in the histories of ALANG, as the founder of Alang Ship Recycling Yard.
The geography of Alang makes it ideal for shipbreaking. The beach is low and tides are as high as 10 metres. During low tide, the sea recedes by three km. The industry was set up in Alang in 1982, egged by the demand for a safe haven for shipbreaking.
Visitors must take permission in advance before visiting. Wearing safety equipment is advised due to potentially hazardous material. Respect the guidelines provided by yard officials for a safe visit.
