印度提高拆船业标准进展显著

Clear signs of progress

总部位于新加坡的拆船现金买家、Wirana航运公司的法律顾问Shashank Agrawal先生表示，印度大多数的拆船业者支持国际上推行的提高拆船行业标准的举措。Agrawal先生适逢印度司法机关和政府正收集有关证据，应外界要求清理整顿拆船行业做出答复之际发表如上看法。

A legal expert says outside pressure is paying off as recycling yards bite the bullet. Demolition cash buyer Wirana Shipping Corp’s legal advisor, Shashank Agrawal, says most shipbreakers in India support international moves to raise standards in the demolition industry. His comments come at a time when evidence is emerging that the judiciary and governments in parts of the Indian subcontinent are finally responding to outside pressure to clean up the business. India has been the most progressive since a Supreme Court ruling a few years ago involving the 76,000-gt cruiseship Blue Lady (ex-Norway, built 1961). The country is again in the spotlight this week after reportedly impounding the 48,000-dwt Gulf Safwa (ex-Probo Hawk, built 1991).
