Press Release - NGOs call on South Asian countries to halt import of the damaged toxic vessel "Hansa Brandenburg" [South Asia]

The NGO Shipbreaking Platform and its 18 member organisations are calling on India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh to halt the import of the damaged, presumably toxic ship Hansa Brandenburg. It is suspected that the German owner, the Leonhardt & Blumberg group, has sold the Hansa Brandenburg for breaking in South Asia, most likely to India…Based in Hamburg, the Leonhardt & Blumberg group is already known for its malpractice to dump old ships in substandard facilities in India…It is also one of the worst dumpers of toxic ships [Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Leonhardt Blumberg Group to respond, respond provided]
