The global ship recycling market saw another shift in Week 7 of 2026 as key fundamentals moved in different directions across the sub-continent. The Baltic Dry Index declined by 0.6 percent, mainly due to weaker Capesize and Panamax performance, while Supramax rates improved. Oil prices held near USD 62.8 per barrel as markets continued to monitor U.S. and Iran tensions. In this week's episode, Ingrid and Henning discuss how the U.S. Dollar strengthened against most recycling nation currencies, with India being the exception as the Rupee improved to around INR 90.6. Steel plate prices reversed course in India, falling nearly USD 10 per ton, while Pakistan maintained the strongest fundamentals in the region with plate prices holding near USD 594 per ton. Bangladesh reached a political milestone as the BNP secured a more than two-thirds majority in the general elections. The result is expected to support long-delayed infrastructure projects and could improve domestic steel demand in the months ahead. The country also adopted the International Ready for Recycling Certificate framework, aligning with regional compliance requirements under the Hong Kong Convention. Steel plate prices in Bangladesh remained flat near USD 494 per ton, while the Taka weakened slightly. Pakistan continued to lead pricing tables, supported by firm steel levels, stable currency performance near PKR 279.6, and rising anchorage activity totaling nearly 30,000 LDT across multiple bulk carriers. India's anchorage activity also remained active with more than 47,000 LDT present, despite softer steel prices. Turkey remained quiet, with limited activity in Aliaga and the Lira weakening toward TRY 44. This episode covers demolition pricing direction, steel and currency movements, port activity in Alang, Chattogram, and Gadani, and the ongoing shortage of recycling candidates. The discussion is intended for shipowners, cash buyers, recyclers, brokers, and maritime professionals following developments in the global demolition market

For decades, investing in the world's biggest companies was a "members-only" club for India's wealthy.

In this episode, Saurabh Mukherjea explains how four blockbuster reforms have finally leveled the playing field, making global compounding accessible to every intelligent investor.

In early December 2025, the Rupee slipped past the ₹90 per dollar mark. While this drop is labelled as 'psychologically significant,' the underlying economic factors hasn't changed much. Yet a specific set of recent events has added fresh momentum, decisively tipping the scales against the currency. The Rupee's rise or fall depends on two main factors: what's happening in the market, and how the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) responds.

In this Week 51 episode, Ingrid and Henning break down the latest ship recycling and demolition market signals across Bangladesh, India (Alang), Pakistan (Gadani), and Turkey (Aliaga). This week delivers a sharp reminder of December volatility: freight markets continue to ease, the U.S. Dollar remains unstable, oil holds at relatively low levels, and local steel plate prices shift across the sub-continent. With the Hong Kong Convention (HKC) now in force, recyclers continue adapting to higher compliance expectations, while owners watch pricing and delivery timing closely heading into year-end. Market overview highlights: Lower supply remains the defining theme, even as fixtures and arrivals begin to surface across sub-continent beaches. Bangladesh sees another price reset as steel plate prices drop quickly and yard capacity remains a key factor. India remains under pressure overall, but the Rupee firms and local plate prices rebound, adding short-term optimism. Pakistan strengthens its position with firmer domestic steel and ongoing HKC momentum, though delivery delays remain a concern. Turkey stays largely sidelined as restrictions and currency weakness keep Aliaga quiet. Indicative recycling levels this week (USD per LDT): Bangladesh: Bulker 410 | Tanker 430 | Container 440 Pakistan: Bulker 400 | Tanker 420 | Container 430 India: Bulker 380 | Tanker 400 | Container 410 Turkey: Bulker 270 | Tanker 280 | Container 290 Also in this episode: GMS is proud to share that our Founder and CEO, Dr. Anil Sharma, has been recognized in the Lloyd's List Top 100 Most Influential People in Shipping for the 16th consecutive year.

This week, Monika unpacks a busy stretch of economic headlines: a strong 8.2% GDP print, the rupee slipping to 90 against the dollar, and a 0.25% RBI rate cut. She begins by explaining why exchange rates matter, what drives currency demand, and why the recent rupee depreciation reflects global risk aversion, high US rates, and a seasonal widening of the current account deficit. Drawing on economist Sajjid Chinoy's view, Monika highlights how a softer rupee can improve export competitiveness and why exceptionally low inflation gives the RBI confidence to allow the currency to adjust without triggering instability.Monika then explains how the RBI's rate cut fits into the broader macro picture. With the repo rate now at 5.25%, the combination of strong growth, a gently depreciating rupee, and lower rates signals confidence in inflation staying anchored. She outlines what this means for savers and borrowers: FD and RBI bond investors may want to lock in long tenors while real returns remain high, borrowers should see relief ahead, and long-duration debt funds may offer tactical opportunities. Above all, she reminds listeners that stable financial plans should not be derailed by headlines or market noise.In listener questions, Anonymous from Bengaluru seeks guidance on navigating family wealth differences while choosing a life partner, Akila weighs renting versus buying as she plans a move before eventually settling into a retirement home, and Aravind from Kerala asks whether investing across top democratic countries is practical for an Indian investor.Chapters:00:00 – 00:00) RBI Rate Cuts and the Rupee at 90(00:00 – 00:00) Why the Rupee Fell and What It Means for Inflation(00:00 – 00:00) Navigating Marriage Decisions When Families Differ in Wealth(00:00 – 00:00) Choosing Between Renting, Buying, or Retirement Homes(00:00 – 00:00) Should Indians Invest Internationally?

Over the last few days, the rupee exchange rate has fallen below ₹90 a dollar and has largely stayed at that level. Now, with Parliament running, a lot of the discourse on this has been political. However, from a policy level, it is critical to understand the economics behind the fall. Why is the rupee falling? Is it falling worse than other currencies? Does the fall hurt or help the Indian economy? And finally, is this a cause for alarm?

In this Week 48 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, hosts Ingrid and Henning review another eventful period in the global ship recycling market as the industry navigates uneven fundamentals and prepares for the final month of the year. Market conditions across South Asia remained under pressure. Steel plate prices declined in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and China. The US dollar weakened in all major recycling destinations except Turkey. Freight markets continued their positive momentum, with the Baltic Dry Index rising by 3.2% to its highest level since December 2023. Oil prices stayed soft and ended the week near 59 dollars per ton, almost 14% lower than a year ago. Supply of recycling candidates remains limited as owners continue trading their vessels on strong freight earnings. Global supply tightness contributed to a mixed pricing environment. Smaller lightweight units are often trading below 400 dollars per lightweight ton, while cleaner and larger vessels can still command higher levels in select locations. Bangladesh stayed at the top of the pricing charts. Indicative levels were about 410 dollars per lightweight ton for bulkers, 430 dollars for tankers and 440 dollars for container vessels. Domestic fundamentals, however, weakened again. Local steel plate prices fell by 11 dollars to about 506 dollars per ton. The Taka improved slightly and closed at 122.08. Political tensions remain in the background ahead of the February 2026 elections. Chattogram recorded five new arrivals this week, including LPG units, a bulker and a chemical tanker, totaling 22,459 lightweight tons. Bangladesh now has 21 approved HKC yards, with one more close to completion. India experienced another quiet week. Most tonnage continues to struggle to reach 400 dollars per lightweight ton, keeping Alang behind Bangladesh and Pakistan for preferred vessels. Steel plate prices slipped to about 390 dollars per ton, and the Rupee ended the week around 89.35. Indicative pricing remained about 380 dollars per lightweight ton for bulkers, 400 dollars for tankers and 410 dollars for container ships. Although India reported GDP growth of 8.2 percent, the recycling market continues to face pressure from higher import costs, weaker domestic sentiment and stronger competition from HKC-compliant yards elsewhere. Pakistan recorded the most important development of the week. Prime Green Recyclers in Gadani received HKC approval from Bureau Veritas, the first yard in Pakistan to qualify. Additional yards are undergoing upgrades and are expected to follow in the next few months. Steel plate prices in Pakistan declined by 7 dollars to about 579 dollars per ton. The Rupee firmed slightly to around 282. Indicative pricing stood at 400 dollars per lightweight ton for bulkers, 420 dollars for tankers and 430 dollars for container units. Gadani did not receive any new vessels this week. Turkey remained stable. Prices held around 260 dollars per lightweight ton for bulkers, 270 dollars for tankers and 280 dollars for container vessels. The Turkish Lira weakened further and moved past 42.50 against the US dollar. Inflation remains elevated, although the economy continues to show growth. Recycling activity in Aliaga stayed limited. Across the subcontinent, the market continues to operate with restricted supply, weaker fundamentals and shifting currency conditions. HKC progress in Bangladesh and Pakistan is improving the competitive landscape and setting the stage for stronger compliance and sustainability in the year ahead.

In this 2025 Week 47 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, host Ingrid and co-host Henning review another challenging week in global ship recycling as forums and frictions shape sentiment across South Asia. Oil futures slipped to around USD 57.7 per barrel, freight rates stayed active but below last year's highs, local steel plate prices weakened in key recycling destinations, and currency devaluations in India and Bangladesh continued to erode recyclers' purchasing power. Regulators in the United States and European Union also moved ahead with new sanctions on Russia and Iran, targeting dark fleet activity and raising questions over how hundreds of older vessels will eventually be recycled. Global Market Overview Market volatility persisted through late November. Oil prices are now more than 6% lower on the month and around 16% below the same period in 2024. The Baltic Dry Index improved week on week but remains far under last year's levels, which limits demolition candidates even as older tonnage creeps closer to recycling age. Combined with softer steel prices and unstable foreign exchange markets, this has kept supply tight and negotiations cautious at ship recycling yards. Bangladesh Bangladesh remains the price leader in South Asia, with demo indications around USD 410 per LDT for dry bulk, USD 430 for tankers, and USD 440 for container vessels. Despite the pricing edge, 2025 has been thin on actual volumes. Inflation has hovered between 8% and 9%, and the Bangladeshi Taka weakened again to roughly BDT 122.5 per USD. Local steel plate prices slipped to about USD 525.9 per ton as yards struggle to move stockpiled recycled steel while cheaper imported scrap continues to pressure domestic demand. Political tensions ahead of the February 2026 elections and sporadic unrest are adding to the cautious tone. On the positive side, Bangladesh has now reached 20 HKC approved yards, with more facilities working through the certification process and ongoing worker training through the GMS Sustainable Ship and Offshore Recycling Program. India The Alang recycling market stayed quiet. Few new deals were reported as Indian recyclers faced a sharp currency move. The Rupee fell to around Rs 89.6 per USD, bringing it close to the Rs 90 level that undermines confidence in future pricing. Steel plate prices improved slightly to approximately USD 398 per ton but remain below the USD 400 threshold. Smaller or less preferred ships are still priced under USD 400 per LDT even though nominal demo indications stand near USD 380 for bulk carriers, USD 400 for tankers, and USD 410 for container ships. With limited tonnage, weaker currency, and competition from lower-cost imported steel, Alang's yards are under pressure, and India's long-standing advantage as the main HKC compliant destination is beginning to narrow as Bangladesh and Pakistan add more approved yards. Pakistan Pakistan delivered the week's most encouraging structural development. Gadani's first HKC compliant recycling yard is expected to receive formal approval shortly, with two or three additional yards targeted over the next few months and further upgrades planned into mid 2026. This represents a significant step in bringing Pakistan fully into the compliant recycling landscape. In the short term, however, trading conditions remain subdued. Domestic steel plate prices fell by USD 11 to around USD 586 per ton, still the highest level in the region but weighed down by cheaper product imported from Iran. The Pakistani Rupee firmed slightly to about PKR 282.6 per USD, yet this was not enough to lift sentiment. For the third consecutive week, there were no meaningful fresh market arrivals, and demo indications remain around USD 400 per LDT for bulkers, USD 420 for tankers and USD 430 for containers. Turkey The Aliaga market was steady but very quiet. Prices held in the USD 260 to 270 per LDT range for bulk and tanker units and close to USD 280 for container vessels. The Turkish Lira weakened further, moving beyond TRY 42.4 per USD. Steel plate prices and demand were largely unchanged, leaving local yards operating in a constrained, high cost environment with little new tonnage to work on. Market Sentiment and Outlook Across South Asia and Turkey, ship recyclers are facing the combined weight of weaker currencies, softer or stagnant steel values, and a limited flow of recycling candidates. At the same time, HKC progress in Bangladesh and the first approvals in Pakistan are building a stronger foundation for compliant and sustainable ship recycling in the years ahead. As 2026 approaches, attention is turning to how the industry will manage the growing pool of aging dark fleet ships and 30 year old vessels once freight markets ease and demolition activity finally starts to pick up.

In this 2025 Week 46 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, host Grace and co-host Ryan review global ship recycling markets as 2025 enters its final stretch. Falling steel prices, a firm U.S. Dollar, and limited vessel supply kept sentiment weak across South Asia. Global Market Overview Market volatility persisted through mid-November. The Baltic Dry Index continued to rise across all sub-sectors, while oil futures slipped to around USD 59.50 per barrel following a Ukrainian drone strike on Russia's Novorossiysk refinery. The U.S. Dollar strengthened further, reducing recyclers' purchasing power, while steel-plate prices in key destinations declined. Transactions closed mostly in the low USD 400s per LDT, with smaller or less-preferred units moving in the high USD 300s. Bangladesh Activity improved slightly as seven vessels totaling about 66,000 LDT reached Chattogram, including a large 21 K LDT bulk carrier. Despite this influx, overall sentiment remains fragile. Political tension ahead of the February 2026 elections, high tariffs near 30 percent, and a weaker Taka (BDT 122.35 per USD) continue to challenge local recyclers. Steel-plate prices dropped another USD 1 per ton, signaling persistent caution in the market. India The Alang recycling market stayed quiet but stable. India's strong HKC-compliant yard base provides structure, yet demand remains limited. Smaller dry units are only just touching USD 400 per LDT. The Rupee eased to Rs 88.70 per USD, while steel-plate prices gained about USD 4 per ton, offering a modest boost. Industry participants expect 2026 to mirror 2025's challenges unless global fundamentals improve. Pakistan After a brief recovery earlier in the quarter, Gadani activity slowed again. No new vessels arrived, and the country still awaits its first HKC-approved yard. Steel-plate prices fell USD 13 per ton to below USD 600, and the PKR weakened to 282.80 per USD. Ongoing inflation and the inflow of cheaper Iranian steel continue to pressure local recyclers and reduce competitiveness. Turkey The Aliaga market remained steady with prices in the USD 260 to 280 per LDT range. The Turkish Lira slipped beyond TRY 42.30 per USD, maintaining difficult trading conditions. Despite weak fundamentals, yards are working to sustain operations and meet regional recycling demand. Market Sentiment Across South Asia, recyclers face a combination of currency weakness, volatile commodity prices, and cautious end-users. As 2025 draws to a close, attention turns to 2026 for potential stabilization and renewed tonnage flow.
