Scrap movement at Alang’s shipbreaking yards may resume from tomorrow as the different associations have reached an amicable solution and the loading charge of INR 100/t has been waived off, as per latest reports. The loading charge started getting levied during the first wave of Covid-19 in order to provide monetary support to the workers, as the scrap volumes handled daily had shrunk to negligible levels amid the total lockdown. A lingering concern that hovers is the hike in transportation charges, although sources believe that this too would get resolved in a couple of days.
