Pursat: Difference between revisions

One of the largest industries but value and by population involvement in Pursat is {{wpl|ship breaking}} there are 8 ship breaking yards along the mainland and 3 along the island of Antiox. The yards on the mainland are bigger and designed to serve the needs of Pursats' [[Occidental]] clientele who typically have large numbers of bigger ships. The yards on Antiox serve clients from [[Audonia]] and have a much lower through rate. These yards are primarily focused on scrapping the ships but the steel in particular is recycled and provides over 100% of the annual need for steel in the country. The excess steel is sold to neighboring countries and has been praised with reducing the demand for mined iron ore and reduces energy use in the steelmaking process across southern [[Daria]]. Fixtures and other maritime equipment that is salvageable is sold to regional shipyards for reuse as well. As such, ships produced in [[Daria]] often have very high capabilities and facilities on board even if the equipment is a bit dated.
