Recycling declines 13% as high freight rates keep aging vessels in service

A 13% decline in ship recycling this year signals a troubling shift in maritime economics.

This postpones much-needed fleet modernization and extends the operational life of less efficient ships. Understanding these market forces is critical for measuring progress across the sector.
