Our yard at Alang is a 95 meters sea front, which is one of the larger yards.

Initially under the quota system the yard was operative for only 4–6 months a year.

But from 1992 with the Open Import Policy, Nagarsheth Shipbreakers, grew substantially and our capital investment needs also grew.

The major requirements of this industry, are Capital, Labour and Gas.

In the early years of the industry, all breaking activities were done manually.

Over the years, keeping in mind our output and labour welfare, we at Nagarsheth Shipbreakers, have taken various initiatives in mechanizing our breaking activities.

Mobile cranes are used for transferring scrap from the ship to the yard.

A Golieth Crane which was specially designed as per our requirements, is an overhead crane for facilitating the movement of large pieces of scrap. This crane reduces the risk to the labourers, as it eliminates manual handling of this scrap.

For the same purpose, trolleys and tractors, were also introduced at our yard by us.

Specially fabricated Winch were brought in by us for carrying back and forth of the gas cylinders from the yard to the ship deck.

By introducing special cases for the gas cylinders, we have effectively reduced our wear and tear of the cylinders.
