Abstract: Retirement of ships usually happens after 25-30 years. According to IMO RULES, ships can be recycled, placed underwater as reefs, or used for educational purposes as museums and training young (trainees at military and marine academies). The majority of ships are recycled, if it is done properly then it is a good venture but if it isn’t then major health and environmental problems can arise. The abundance of labor and low government intervention in this sector worsens the situation. This paper throws light and concentrates on the challenges faced by the ship-breaking industry. Also, we study the world's largest ship recycling yard Alang-Sosiya and how proper management can be implied to regulate safety and wipe out hazardous activities from it
