supplying raw material to the steel and re-rolling mills, says the industries
minister.

labour intensive industry, ship recycling is contributing significantly to the
national economy by creating jobs and increasing earnings,” Amir Hossain Amu
said while speaking at the closing session of a workshop in Dhaka on Wednesday.
The industries ministry organised the
workshop titles 'Safe and Environmentally Sound Ship Recycling/SENSREC' with
additional secretary Begum Parag in the chair.
