Abstract
Geographically Pakistan gains much importance in the sea linkages as it intersects the three main sea lines of communication (SLOCs). After the project China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), there we see improvement in infrastructure of every sector which is linked with it. But the Ship breaking sector located at Gaddani, Pakistan was still ignored. And the main focus of our study is on the safety measures, education, health, and demands of TEVT graduates in this sector. Data is collect through survey in 2016. At start the ship breaking sector was on peak and become the No. 1 sector around the globe but unfortunately this sector in performance getting down and down with time. There are three main reasons, first, the high tax rate was imposed, second, there was no proper safety measures as we see deaths and injuries incidents are taken place, no proper medical facilities are available and third there was no proper training and education for the workforce which are engaged in this sector. All the needs of this sector to make it Green are addressed in this study properly. If all the measures which we addressed for the improvement of this sector is handled properly than this sector will contribute much more to GDP in different ways as this sector in terms of employment, and will also produce much more steel which not only fill the demand of steel domestically but also we will export it to different countries.

Summary
This industry is much wider as 1000 ships are breaking down per year around the globe. As 68% ship were dismantled in South Asia, 17% in china, 12% in Turkey, 2.2% in European Union and 0.8% in rest of the Globe. As we see that ship-breaking industry is on peak in South Asian countries. In the near future the environment will be hazard more and more, so government should have to take a proper step to get rid of this future hazard For this the ship breaking yard should be locked in the coastal areas for easy wastage of hazardous waste scraped from ships. As most of the world ships are dismantled in India due to cheap labor, than the second country after India which dismantles ships is Bangladesh and china, after China the fourth big country which dismantles ships is Pakistan, than Turkey, European Union, and the remaining countries of the world work in this sector
