Shipbreaking and ship recycling is one of the major industries of Bangladesh. It is a significant contributor to Bangladesh’s economy and employment as well as one of the major sources of steel supply for the nation. However, this comes at a huge cost to the environment and human health and the current governance of the industry is unable to address this issue properly. This paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the legal framework governing ship-breaking and ship-recycling in Bangladesh, with a primary focus on environmental degradation. It critically examines both national and international instruments aimed at regulating this industry. Drawing upon extensive research and literature review, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of existing legal mechanisms in addressing environmental concerns associated with ship-breaking activities. Special attention is paid to the compliance and enforcement mechanisms within these legal frameworks. Through a comparative analysis of relevant statutes, conventions, and case law, the paper highlights gaps and shortcomings in current regulations which need to be addressed to strengthen environmental protections in the ship-breaking industry. This study seeks to augment the existing dialogues on encouraging sustainable practices in the ship-breaking and ship-recycling industry in Bangladesh by offering a nuanced understanding of the complex interactions between legal regulations and environmental degradation.
