Larry Kestenbaum - 2004-05-29 13:29:03 It's one of those technological dilemmas. International trade uses a tremendous number of ships. After a certain number of years, they're too expensive to maintain, and the cost of scrapping them in a clean and safe way is orders of magnitude more than the value of the scrap. And on the ocean, lowest common denominator safety and environmental standards rule. Which is to say, no standards at all. Indeed, the seas are so lawless that piracy is back. Catching and prosecuting even a few of the pirates is incredibly difficult and expensive. It's a big ocean out there.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-05-29 18:41:32Thanks for the Atlantic tip, Larry. The Atlantic itself has retired the link, but I found the article here.
