Marine and Offshore Engineering Studies
Marine and Offshore Engineering Studies is a research topic within Ocean Engineering. Science Explorer counts 12k research works in it since 1950. 6.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the environmental, economic, and regulatory aspects of ship recycling and offshore decommissioning, with a particular emphasis on the shipbreaking industry in Bangladesh and India. It addresses issues such as marine pollution, heavy metal contamination, ecological conflicts, waste management, legal regulations, and sustainability challenges. The cluster also delves into the economic analysis of end-of-life ships and the offshore oil and gas industry.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
