A ship full of hazardous materials arrived on Wednesday in the coastal town of Gadani located in Balochistan’s Lasbela district despite repeated Interpol warnings.
The Deputy Commissioner of Lasbela has taken notice and ordered concerned authorities to conduct an inquiry into how a ship filled with hazardous materials can be docked at Gadani Shipbreaking Yard. According to sources familiar with the matter, it has been brought to the yard for shipbreaking.
The Gadani Shipbreaking Yard is the third largest ship-breaking yard in the world and consists of 132 ship-breaking plots.
