It's estimated that around 120,000 metric tons of oil are released annually into the Bay of Bengal due to shipbreaking activities. Air Pollution: Burning of materials during shipbreaking emits hazardous pollutants into the air, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. This contributes to poor air quality in the surrounding areas.

When workers seek to unionize or raise concerns, they face dismissal and intimidation tactics.

International Labour Organization created a voluntary set of guidelines for occupational safety in 2003. Nevertheless, Greenpeace found that even pre-existing mandatory regulation has had little noticeable effect for labourers, due to government corruption, yard owner secrecy and a lack of interest from countries who prioritise economic growth. There are also guards who look out for any reporters. To safeguard worker health, the report recommends that developed countries create a fund to support their families, certify carriers as 'gas-free' (i.e. safe for cutting) and to remove toxic materials in appropriate facilities before export.

In fact, according to a study conducted by the European Commission in 2011, at least 91% of ships covered by the WSR disobeyed or circumvented its requirements. The European Commission admitted publicly that enforcing its own Waste Shipment Regulation to recycle ships had not been successful. The commission, unable to wait for the HKC to take effect, began developing new legislation to regulate the recycling of European-flagged ships. This led the European Commission in 2012 to propose the development of a new European Regulation on Ship Recycling.
