🤝 The National Centre of Excellence for Green Ports and Shipping (NCoEGPS) at TERI hosted the Round Table Discussion, 'Unlocking the Next Decade of Ship Recycling: Scale, Sustainability, and Green Value Chains', on April 30, 2026, at its New Delhi headquarters. The session featured remarks from Dr Vibha Dhawan, DG, TERI; Mr RR Rashmi, Distinguished Fellow, TERI; and Commodore Debesh Lahiri, Advisor, TERI. The discussion brought together global and Indian stakeholders to shape the future of ship recycling. Key takeaways: ✅ ~16,000 ships expected in the next decade—strong growth potential ✅ Balancing compliance and competitiveness remains a key challenge ✅ Regulatory gaps (Basel vs Hong Kong Convention) limit market access ✅ Digital traceability and transparency are increasingly critical ✅ Ship recycling is emerging as a green steel and circular economy driver ✅ Labour inclusion, safety, and downstream integration need strengthening ✅ Capital is available, but policy clarity is crucial #ShipRecycling #GreenPorts #GreenTransition #CircularEconomy #Modernization #Infrastructure #GlobalEconomy #Sustainability
