In this episode of GMS Weekly, hosts Henning, Ryan, Grace, and Ingrid break down the major market movements in global ship recycling for Week 27 (July 4, 2025). With the Hong Kong Convention now officially in force, South Asia's ship recycling landscape is shifting fast. India holds steady with over 100 HKC-compliant yards, while Bangladesh and Pakistan scramble to upgrade amid declining prices and tighter tonnage supply.
We cover:
-
Macroeconomic pressures: oil at USD 66.5/barrel, inflation woes, and a falling Baltic Exchange.
-
Subcontinent sentiment: India's predictability, Bangladesh's sub-USD 400/LDT offers, and Pakistan's early upgrade efforts.
-
Turkey’s ongoing regulatory red tape and a fire incident dampening its yard activity.
Stay ahead with our analysis of:
-
Regional pricing trends
-
Compliance dynamics under HKC

Where to position your vessels next
