An old boxship which was initially sold for recycling in the US has been beached at a controversial shipbreaking facility in India.
Environmental group Basel Action Network (BAN) said the 2,139-teu Horizon Trader (built 1973) reached the Alang shipbreaking facilities earlier this month.
The vessel was acquired by Matson when the company took over Horizon Lines and was later sold to Texas-based All Star Metals.
