A fleet of so-called 'ghost ships' have arrived in the UK from the US. These ships contain toxic chemicals, including fifty tonnes of asbestos, and have been sent to Hartlepool to be dismantled and disposed of. The firm in charge of dismantling the ships, Able UK say that the toxic waste on board can be disposed of safely. If this is so, why have they not been dismantled in the US?

There is a brief article on the matter here
