More container tonnage has been sent to the beaches in the past few weeks than had been sold for recycling in the previous nine months, according to new figures from Braemar ACM.
In all 24 ships totalling 45,500 teu were sold for demolition in the 30 days to 6 November, according to the shipbroker's Demometer.
Those sales swell the tally of containership capacity sold for scrap so far this year to 49 ships, totalling 89,500 teu.
