Still would not prevent just selling the LLC at the end of the ship's useful life.

And I'm not sure how to effectively police that.

Find the names of the people involved, get a warrant and use the full power of that impressive global surveillance system that we've created to fight the global war on terror to surveil them and find evidence of other crimes that they've surely committed and prosecute the fuck out of them for that.
We do live in a world where it's basically impossible to live without violating one law at one time or another (often unknowingly and without malice)
Seems like a lot of work to prevent India from breaking ships it wants to break.
Meaningless statement. You can say the exact same thing about any law.
Not every law tries to regulate the behavior of people in other jurisdictions.
How is this law like that?
Europeans don't like the working conditions of shipbreakers in India, and don't like the pollution it creates in India. Europeans can't directly tell the Indians what they can and cannot do.

Instead, the parent post is proposing to use the state surveillance app aratus to go after and prosecute the f** out of people that sell ships to India.

I said it seems like a lot of work to try to stop someone in another country from doing something in their own country.

I prefer the more hands off approach where you let people in other countries decide what they want to do as long as they aren't hurting you. If India wants to ban ship breaking or impose harsh restrictions, they can do that themselves. I think it's arrogant and dehumanizing for Outsiders to try to control what happens in India.
