OCEAN DREAM, a 40-year-old cruise ship sailing under the flag of Comoros, arrived at Alang ship-breaking yard Friday to be dismantled.

“There is no hope for cruise vessels for the next six to eight months as the Americans and Europeans, who form the biggest group of cruise travellers, are the most affected by the Covid-19,” says Haresh Parmar, the honorary joint secretary of Ship Recycling Industries Association of India (SRIA).
