Workers at a ship recycling facility in Alang set to cut up an elderly product tanker that recently arrived off their yard are unlikely to realise the trouble it once caused one of Israel’s richest families.

The 41,300-dwt MR2 product tanker Khuran (built 1992) completed a 31-year career when its final voyage, made under the name Seas, ended off Alang on 18 December.
