Worldwide, financial and legal problems are common reasons for owners abandoning ships.

The Sao Luiz is one of dozens of ships left to rust on the iconic but heavily polluted bay, once home to vast mangroves and thriving marine life.
Besides the ships' effect on marine life and passing vessels, which must navigate an obstacle course of half-floating hulks, pollution in the bay imposes a financial cost of some tens of billions of reais a year with its pollution, Ricardo estimated.




lots of older ships are not worth maintaining, not safe for using, and not worth scrapping, especially in remote ports.
not hard to imagine the environmental effects.

anyone with knowledge of?
any suggestions for easy resolutions?

Sorry we’re busy with the whole global warming thing right now. Brazil had there chance when in the 80s the doom porn was the Brazilian rainforest, the world would end because of the loss of the rainforest, Sting told us so!
