The problem isn't the scrapping itself, it's the unsafe and polluting way of doing it in Alang that is a concern. We could do this in Europe, it'd cost more but it'd be done in a responsible manner.
Quite a few PCTC ro/ro's. I suppose the economy is so bad, the cars don't import as much, the ships get chopped up. You can also hear the main engine's turbo(s) surging (barking)
Those videos are very sad, I think. Once a proud ship who sail around the seven oceans finally rest not in the depths of the sea, but in a beach to be scrapped.
I know, business is business, but a ship has a soul, you know. Is not just a assembly of iron and machinery. A ship has its own personality, everybody whom has sailed can tell that..
That's why is so sad, is like be witnessing a murder.
is sad to see a ship with many years of service ends with a finish so dishonest, see how much sea stories lived on the ship aground on the coast end waiting for a slow dismantling and oblivion, but the truth of these times we live in where all these vessels must be discharged in order to replace them with new transportation and large container ships
@andresnavarreteo, on the other hand the ship in this video is already 25 years old, nearing the end of its economical lifetime. Increased operating costs, fatigue problems... it's just better to recycle them.
@tupsumato Yes, better for all sailors as well as we get new, safer and cleaner ships to work on! But of course it's sad to see the scrapping. All ships are pieces of history!
