Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The voyage of the Korean made bulk and oil carrier Probo Koala (renamed Gulf Jash) towards an unknown destination has once again brought to limelight the much condemned dumping of hazardous wastes by the developed world on South Asia’s fragile beaches. While no shipping company has admitted its association with the vessel infamous for toxicity, official documents suggest the ship was sold as scrap to an anonymous Bangladeshi ship breaker on May 16, 2011. The Bangladeshi authorities and the Bangla-desh Ship Breakers Association have not disclosed the identity of the buyer.
