India — West Coast · Ship recycling
Also known as Alang Ship Breaking Yard
Alang is the world's largest ship recycling site, where vessels are beached on the Gulf of Khambhat tidal flats on their final voyage. The requirement is unlike any other port on this list: a vessel arrives crewed, is delivered, and the crew must be provisioned and repatriated rather than resupplied for sea.
Working Alang
- Vessels beach on the spring tide, which fixes arrival to a narrow window each month.
- The need is final-voyage provisioning and crew support, not a resupply for onward passage.
- Yard-plot access is controlled by the recycling operator rather than by a conventional port gate.
How we supply Alang
Handled as a final-voyage call: stores are scaled to the crew's remaining time aboard rather than to a notional next leg, which is the difference between a useful delivery and an expensive one.
