The Ministry of Environment announced it had revoked the permission for the ship's scrapping in Türkiye. Environmental groups say the ship is still being towed to the country. The company that got the contract for the scrapping of the ship expressed its intentions to fulfill the contract.

This ship had already left Brazil's territorial waters when Türkiye made a request for a new hazardous materials investigation, said an institute affiliated with Brazil's Ministry of Environment.

A decommissioned aircraft carrier is set to be dismantled in Türkiye. After environmental groups' campaigns, the Ministry of Environment has requested a new hazardous substance report from Brazil.

The proceedings regarding the dispatch of the Sao Paulo nuclear warship to Türkiye are in violation of international conventions, and will cause the Federal Republic of Brazil to be legally responsible, said the groups.

The report comes as an aircraft carrier is reportedly heading to Türkiye for dismantling, which will cause the release of tons of dangerous substances.
