In this week’s GMS Weekly Podcast, Ingrid and Henning discuss the latest movements across the global ship recycling market as pricing, rankings, and buyer appetite continue to shift early in 2026.

The conversation covers why Bangladesh slipped sharply in competitiveness, how Pakistan moved to the top of the regional pricing table, and what improved yard readiness means for tonnage flow. The discussion also explores India’s selective buying behavior amid continued currency pressure, as well as renewed activity in Turkey following recent RoRo deliveries.

Listeners will gain insight into recycling price levels near USD 400 per LDT, the impact of currency volatility on buyer confidence, and the factors shipowners should be monitoring as supply remains limited and market direction remains uncertain.

This episode is designed for shipowners, brokers, recyclers, financiers, and maritime professionals seeking a clear and practical overview of current demolition market conditions.
