Yup. Hey, we have "clean" ship breaking right here in the USA. We did it for many years and still do. But we do it very differently...and it costs a LOT more. Just like manufacturing. Its all about the money, folks. Profits!!!!! It does not matter if its ship breaking of making tennis shoes. Follow the money flows and you will almost always end up in a place like this
Yep...you are completely correct...ship breaking goes to the lowest bidder. In Canada we still do some ship breaking but yes it is expensive as the workers are paid a decent wage and work in much safer manner. I feel bad for the people having to do this work for pennies and they also pay the price that their local environment is being systematically destroyed. Truly the issue of Corporate greed and not giving a shit about anything but what they can stuff in their pockets! Mike 🇨🇦 🍁
Not sure what you mean. Even using the lowest priced labour available (India and Bangladesh) the ship breaking yards make about $12 for every $10 of scrap metal. Where is the profit?
India in general is one of if not the most polluted places in the world before the ship breaking projects!! They literally dispose of their dead relatives after burning as much as they can of them in the Ganges River as well as all the textile industries dump their unfiltered/untreated wastewater and byproducts in it too plus raw sewage etcetera!!!! And then use it to bath and drink from!!!
But they'd rather tax western countries to high heaven like Ireland that hardly pollute the world while China and India do as they please.. All a giant scam.. funny how these two countries are still building coal plants while white people are to blame for climate change and have to reduce everything...funny that!!!
Fun fact: I know a merchant marine sea cargo captain who told me that worldwide, big shipping companies prefer to hire American captains because they’re more likely to be sober while piloting.

Makes me want to buy one and sail it away again.😂 When I was a kid I dreamed of owning my own tramp steamer one day and sailing around the world carrying cargo port to port. I didn't know how expensive that would be to do, nor how much shipping changed in the way and size that cargo is carried.
Ships are in a way like cars. After years and years of service things start to go south and at some point all the breakdowns and repairs add up and it just isn't worth maintaining or refurbishing anymore.
Some of these ships were still in quite good condition, well kept and maintained. They obviously had many years of service left in them. Must have been economics that killed them.
For sure. One of the large cruise companies scraped a brand new 1blln dollar cruise ship. And I mean brand new. Let alone some in "still good condition". Sad to see.
@@bazbbeeb7226 Unfortunately the local auto parts store and Marinas don't have a nuclear conversion kit for sale cheap. And I didn't see one on eBay. So I guess I have to keep dreaming.
maybe the only remaining pollutant are the fuel for the engine to run into the sand and little amount of diesel for the generator just enough to produce electricity for horn to sound.
Curious at what point is a ship determined to be scrap. All these ships seemed like descent vessels. I'm guessing thin hulls or weak superstructure. 3:06 looked very nice
I can tell you. Containerships are constructed for a lifetime of about 30 years. They are usually used longer, but at some point, it becomes too expensive compared to a new ship. Let me just explain the engine. The engine is built to last for "a lifetime". So it's built to last 30 years and it's not changeable, it is a part of the ship. The engine Oil also gets just one filling in its life. So, when you use the ship for 40 years or longer, you can't really rely on the engine anymore and it would be very dangerous to have a huge ship like this with a broken engine far out on the ocean. In addition, newer engines need less fuel than a 30+ year old relict. This is a very big factor in shipping, because these monsters need so much fuel, that a more efficient engine can save many thousands of dollars every day just on fuel. Of course, modern ships also have many more advantages besides that.
If this was a scene from a movie, the ship would travel half a km inwards on dry land, leaving a trail of destruction.
Yeah made me wonder when I was a kid if that resort in Speed 2 was built on a giant pier or something. 😆

Curious at what point is a ship determined to be scrap. All these ships seemed like descent vessels. I'm guessing thin hulls or weak superstructure. 3:06 looked very nice
they aint making $$$$ any more outdated the ships are fine just not any work for them
I can tell you. Containerships are constructed for a lifetime of about 30 years. They are usually used longer, but at some point, it becomes too expensive compared to a new ship. Let me just explain the engine. The engine is built to last for "a lifetime". So it's built to last 30 years and it's not changeable, it is a part of the ship. The engine Oil also gets just one filling in its life. So, when you use the ship for 40 years or longer, you can't really rely on the engine anymore and it would be very dangerous to have a huge ship like this with a broken engine far out on the ocean. In addition, newer engines need less fuel than a 30+ year old relict. This is a very big factor in shipping, because these monsters need so much fuel, that a more efficient engine can save many thousands of dollars every day just on fuel. Of course, modern ships also have many more advantages besides that.
Judging a book by its cover?
"Look at me, I am the captain now"
It all looks deliberate
