Alang recycler Priya Blue 'hopeful' of EU approval

Alang, India-based ship recycler Priya Blue has invested heavily in infrastructural overhaul to meet the European Commission’s Ship Recycling Regulation (SRR), and is hopeful its efforts will pay off, a company director told TradeWinds.

"Priya Blue was the first yard in India to apply for the EU list and we do see a good chance to be included," Gaurav Mehta of Best Oasis/Priya Blue told TradeWinds, adding that he could not comment further till Brussels inspected the yards.
