الوحدة للتنمية الصناعية (مجموعة الجارحي للصلب) تتفاوض مع شركات صينية وهولندية لمشروع تخريد سفن بطاقة نحو 2 مليون طن في غرب دمياط
A planned ship-recycling yard at West Damietta, linked to Al-Garhi Steel, aims to turn end-of-life ships into mill feed within about two years. Cash buyers, ship-recycling technology firms and Egyptian mills should follow it; ship scrap carries asbestos and hazardous-material duties.

What to do الخطوة التالية
A future buyer or scrap source. Register as a supplier or offtaker now, before contracts are placed.
Compliance الامتثال
Hazardous material. Handling needs a licensed operator (in Saudi Arabia a MWAN waste-management licence; elsewhere the local environmental permit). Cross-border moves of hazardous waste fall under the Basel Convention (prior informed consent). Check export and import rules for each country involved. This is not legal advice.
