asbestos anyone?

[SteffanLlwyd]

Better to end here than on a demolition beach in South Asia. Good call on the part of the owners.

i sailed on this ship for two years when it was called Arklow River had some great times sad to see end like this

[SteffanLlwyd]

@agemartin1 Do tell us. I really like to hear seafarers' stories!

[MegaGreendayfan101]

why wouldnt they just sink them in the ocean and create a home for lots of fish and make a good ecosystem?

[HelixWaffle]

@MegaGreendayfan101 Instead of polluting to make more metal and materials to make a new ship, why not reuse?

[MegaGreendayfan101]

@HelixWaffle yea i didnt think of think of that. but cant they just clean the chemicals and what not off and do what i said?

[HelixWaffle]

@MegaGreendayfan101 yes they could, but they probably needed most of the materials for a new ship.

[MegaGreendayfan101]

@HelixWaffle ok

GTS Finnjet should have beein'g scrapped in this place, and not in that filthy place Alang :S

[vesterled25]

@Mopolumpu I agree.... Ships are beeing taken mucc better care of, in relation to the environment, but multi national companies does not care.... as long as they get money on their account, they do not care about the environment... as it seems and as far as i know... i have npretty good insight.... in booth the marked and the industry.... been there for more then xx years

[throwerofturds]

great video .

how many tons do the excavaters weigh ? how many tons is the ship and how long to break her ?

[4shacks1house]

Hell!! I wish I looked that good after fifty years of hard work and rounding the globe as many times as years.

[emigrantgap]

then the boss comes running out and yells"it was only to have the bow thruster fixed, not bow ripped" ooops.lol

[volkswin]

Contrast how this ship is scrapped safely and with very little hands on input with how vessels are scrapped in asia at places such as gandani beach.

[Markorepairs]

Idiot scrapping tools. Ideas wire cutting cable slides hole ship, assigned cable cutting system land and push one meter whole ship and cutting meter slides.

[paulkazjack]

@Markorepairs Do what mate?

[jacobwaley]

[vonchappell]

[tupsumato]
