Throughout the visit, IIUC students engaged in interactive sessions with the yard’s technical and safety teams, gaining valuable insights into the importance of proper worker training, use of personal protective equipment, and the continuous monitoring of environmental parameters.
The visit concluded with a note of appreciation from KR Ship Recycling Yard to the IIUC delegation for their curiosity and enthusiasm. Both parties expressed interest in continuing such knowledge-sharing collaborations to strengthen the link between academia and industry.
KR Ship Recycling Yard reaffirmed its commitment to supporting educational initiatives that promote awareness about sustainable ship recycling, contributing to Bangladesh’s leadership in responsible shipbreaking on the global stage.
