British cruise ships that are no longer meant for use are finding their way to India to be scrapped, according to a media report on Tuesday. Ships at the end of their lives are considered hazardous waste and it is illegal to send them to developing countries from the UK. But months after being sold at auction to buyers outside the UK they are then sold on as scrap, according to a new ‘File on 4' investigative show for BBC.
