@docphotop. Go to google maps and look at Alang, see the oil spilling in to the sea and then you will understand the impact of running ships up the beach. Do a little research and you will understand these breakers use child labour and every 2 days someone is killed by accidents or industrial related diseases. Modern breakers do not use up the beach methods, they are put in to docks and dismantled correctly. But hey, what would I know. Doesn't affect me, I'll turn a blind eye. Nice job.
Kind of a sad video. Each of those monstrous ships is a triumph of engineering and construction. I'm sure many of them are/were still seaworthy. It's just that the cost of operating them has exceeded the benefit they provide, and now they're worth more as scrap. Shame.
@aegflota THEN WHO'S GOING TO SCRAP THEM? BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT YOU NEED THESE SHIP BREAKERS B/C THEY'RE WILLING TO RID THE WORLD OF UNSEAWORTHY WRECKS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD BREAK UP BY ACCIDENT & RUIN PRISTINE COASTLINES.
BESIDES - THIS IS A RECYCLING EVOLUTION, NONE OF THE SCRAP ON THESE BEACHES GOES TO WASTE.
Watching this again, and I wonder how these men can keep the sparks away from cloth! OSHA would have field day. I noticed to they don't use big claw like machinery like they did with the MV Server.
This was amazing! Love the Techno! But that was very interesting. This is stuff most people don't think about. I knew a man who owned a restaurant and here, he was an Oil Tanker Captain and he got out of that because he retired and came home to his family. He had a restaurant named The Captains Wheel and he made good food. But this is a very good video.
i am brown and i would like to meet you , 29 oct saturday , The Spire ? we can have a cup of coffee and maybe later dinner , than i would like to show you more brown things in my place ...
@harryfaber Not in geographical sense. I would say these two and Japan since end of 2 world war were and still are more western countries than half of the Europe.
@foxdmulder a million for container ships but splitting the copper hah. Most likely another million. Super tankers like the massive Jarhe Viking would 10 million. Thats why steel prices at the local scrap yard were somewhat low because the scrap from that ship prompted worldwide steel scrap prices to drop from 25 cents a pound to a 5 cent difference yes really
It may not be pretty, but it has to be done. All these thousands of tons of steel is recycled. What would you do with obsolete ships if they did not do this? These ships have a limited lifespan. They have to be disposed of somehow. It has to be quick, efficient and as inexpensive as possible. This industry and the men who work so hard at it deserve our respect, not the derisive insults I am reading here.

And people wounder why the oceans are starting to get fucked up.... Please tell me you clean the tanks and remove the asbestos in a enviromentaly friendly way BEFORE these ships End there lives
People complain about their crappy lives working in an air conditioned office, imagine having this as your only option in life, good thing the ship breaking business is going out of business in many parts of the world.
Great video! I watched it with the sound down and Mark Knopfler's "So Far From The Clyde" playing on iTunes for a very different experience....and yes, Glasgow, through which snakes the 106 mile long river Clyde, is in Scotland.
@Filmcollectief Personally I would have gone with anything but crappy UNF-DA-UNF-DA-UNF-DA dance music. Despite being bad music it doesn't fit the video. The footage is large and epic, and the music is fast and cheesy.
@Filmcollectief have you been to that ship breaking place in Pakistan- if so can you get permission to walk around (as you can in Bangledesh) or are the strict? The sheer size of those vessels is amazing.
@Filmcollectief Prefer no music. This would have been a good video if we didn't have to listen to THUMP THUMP THUMP while we are trying to take in the atmosphere of the content within the video. Ass.

Simple, everything has got an end. As much as I love some ships, it is an inevitable fact that it is impossible to keep them all in good shape. If you look at the men who are demolishing them, you should see them as the undertakers who are respectfully disposing the remains of a beloved.
And bear in mind that their sacrifices for the souls of the ships are plenty.
Hiii, This is Alang, world largest ship breaking yard. Thousands of ships breaking units giving lots of raw materials to iron and foundries company. Your esteem cars and refrigerator, your bike body's steel or iron may be manufactured from Alang scrap plant.
Nah, that ship was max 7-8000 tons lightweight, market price today is about 420 dollars per ton in india/pakistan for a bulker like that, so approx 3.2 - 3.3 million US. And would have to know exactly when she was beached, because at market peak in 2/3q 2008, they were excess $550/ton, and dropped to close to $200/ton after the crisis..
@JarSqwuid How about I get you a job there? I can and I will if you are willing. Then after you can tell me if it was worth it or not. This will stop, but in the meantime, would you like a job? It can be arranged.
@iloveplanetrock It's the world's most dangerous job. The toxins inhaled alone will kill you. You couldn't last a minute. Trust me. You don't want to do this.
i think it unreal 3 or 4 of them die each day no cranes just bare muscle,,the could dismantle them in ship yards but around 30000 people that depend on it would starve ,,the world doesnt revolve around the usa dandebl pull your head out of your arse
Many thanks for posting this video. Great Job. Been wanting to know about ship decommissioning for a while now. Do you know how many tons this ship is in the video?
How many days it took to break apart the ship?
How many people in total worked on the ship?
How many hours a day?
I would love to know the answers to these questions
@Rabhadh I understand Mark Knopfler saw this video and wrote the song "So Far From The Clyde" - check it out on youtube. It's an INCREDIBLY crafted song by the most brilliantly gifted song writer, poet and artist of all time in my opinion. (Clyde built ships - in the north of England were some of the finest vessels ever built in their time).
@sitinrighthere WOW… Scottish pride?! Well excuuuuse me, LOL. Maybe if I'd said UK you'd have stayed in your intellectual hole? My sincere apologies for offending you so. Thanks so much for your ELOQUENT description of me, so pleasant! – go brush up on some words "Professor McIdiot" while I hone in on my appalling geography. HaHa!
@nationalo hi there great comment. I dont think MK saw this video because he talks about the ship breaking yard of Alang India. It would be interesting to see what he saw exactly. Its the largest shipping breaking yard in the world and all the big ships come there, check it out on ytube. I wasnt living too far from Alang, if you go down to India check it out, then listen to the song - very moving.
Yes, those helmets are pretty damn good when you've got 200 hundred tons heading down towards you. Thank God they don't have the idiots from the health and safety executive that we have here in the UK,, the country would grind to a halt, although thinking about it, they would think of something to stop that from happening........"take cover" shit too late!!
this is taken from workingman's death, quite a good documentary. this clip makes it seem fun and exciting. but it's dangerous. many ways to get killed doing the job.
A life of shipbreaking is often a short one, and one that often ends violently and tragically. Breaking up ships is a necessary industry, but there's got to be a better way than taking advantage of these ultra poor people who can't do much better for themselves. It's a grim proposition......choosing either to starve or risk getting sick , injured, or killed in the breaking yards. Though costly, I'd much rather see western countries dispose of ships locally, where it can be done safely.
The biggest polluters in the world are the Western Countries. The amount of Food that is wasted in the Fast Food Restaurants in the West that is wasted each day, can feed the hungry around the world for weeks if not months. The amount of CO2 emitted just by US is 20% of the world total, yet US only makes 5% of the world population.
So the biggest polluters are the Westerners, their small efforts are neglible when looking at the excesses. They don't care about the environment.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
cockburier, CO2 is a naturally occuring gas, quit worrying about how much food we use in the US and how much oil we burn, we give you almost 100% of the new technology and pharma the absence of which would make your life shit.
@datzburier sure it is , its not spilling out in the oceans and what about when the cutters cut in to a tank with fuel and it blows and kills many. the safety of these workers does not matter , the rich get richer and the poor die.
It's common to see 13 year old boys blasting away with a cutting torch in the Indian yards. Often they have no safety gear on and earn pennies at best. Shipbreaking is an ugly business, but disposal of those things has to be done. It could be done more responsibly in the West is environmentalist freaks weren't so bent on stopping it. You can have fair labor, or you can have clean environment...But not both. It would cost hundreds of times more to scrap ships on a large scale in Europe or the US.
Shipbreaking is also environmentally clean, even in Pakistan, or any other developing country. The workers pick up even the last Kilogram of scrap. Laborers can pick up as much as leftover as possible, & sell it in open market, where about 2 KG of scrap Metal is sold for $1, or almost as much as their whole days work. So, who would leave all that money lying around, rusting in the ocean? Nothing gets wasted. The industry benefits, the people benefit, the shipbreakers benefit.
@datzburier You are an idiot, what happens to the PCBs and fuel oil that sinks into the sand and poisons the skin of the workers? Who cares about the scrapmetal
People of various cultures are just amazing. These men work without hard hats, safety boots, or most other basic safety features, features we in the west take for granted.

Yes, those helmets are pretty damn good when you've got 200 hundred tons heading down towards you. Thank God they don't have the idiots from the health and safety executive that we have here in the UK,, the country would grind to a halt, although thinking about it, they would think of something to stop that from happening........"take cover" shit too late!!

I have worked on the ship in this film. No one died. If you follow the instructions it is not danger than to drive a car.

A life of shipbreaking is often a short one, and one that often ends violently and tragically. Breaking up ships is a necessary industry, but there's got to be a better way than taking advantage of these ultra poor people who can't do much better for themselves. It's a grim proposition......choosing either to starve or risk getting sick , injured, or killed in the breaking yards. Though costly, I'd much rather see western countries dispose of ships locally, where it can be done safely.

The biggest polluters in the world are the Western Countries. The amount of Food that is wasted in the Fast Food Restaurants in the West that is wasted each day, can feed the hungry around the world for weeks if not months. The amount of CO2 emitted just by US is 20% of the world total, yet US only makes 5% of the world population.
So the biggest polluters are the Westerners, their small efforts are neglible when looking at the excesses. They don't care about the environment.

cockburier, CO2 is a naturally occuring gas, quit worrying about how much food we use in the US and how much oil we burn, we give you almost 100% of the new technology and pharma the absence of which would make your life shit.

@datzburier sure it is , its not spilling out in the oceans and what about when the cutters cut in to a tank with fuel and it blows and kills many. the safety of these workers does not matter , the rich get richer and the poor die.

It's common to see 13 year old boys blasting away with a cutting torch in the Indian yards. Often they have no safety gear on and earn pennies at best. Shipbreaking is an ugly business, but disposal of those things has to be done. It could be done more responsibly in the West is environmentalist freaks weren't so bent on stopping it. You can have fair labor, or you can have clean environment...But not both. It would cost hundreds of times more to scrap ships on a large scale in Europe or the US.

@Lex5576
Shipbreaking is also environmentally clean, even in Pakistan, or any other developing country. The workers pick up even the last Kilogram of scrap. Laborers can pick up as much as leftover as possible, & sell it in open market, where about 2 KG of scrap Metal is sold for $1, or almost as much as their whole days work. So, who would leave all that money lying around, rusting in the ocean? Nothing gets wasted. The industry benefits, the people benefit, the shipbreakers benefit.

Rubbish! The heavy metals lead paint, mercury, asbestos etc. that comes from old ships is nasty ship.

People of various cultures are just amazing. These men work without hard hats, safety boots, or most other basic safety features, features we in the west take for granted.
