The firm says the dearth of vessels and financing approvals in Bangladesh and Pakistan has seen market costs attain new lows with every concurrent sale into the sub-continent locations.
“Notwithstanding, despite being moderately placed in the market rankings, India remains a beacon of hope amidst a dire 2023 recycling landscape, especially as a number of impressive deals were concluded here this week, perhaps suggesting that better days may well lie ahead for this market.”
