Shipbreakers in Gadani beach, Pakistan
Loading...
Uploaded by Filmcollectief on Jan 2, 2009
This is amazing, everybody knows the shipbreaking yard in Alang, India but there is also one in Gaddani or Gadani beach in Pakistan. The Gadani ship-breaking yard is a centre for the breaking up of derelict ocean-going vessels for scrap. The yard is located in Gadani, Pakistan, about 50 kilometres northwest of Karachi.
This is a compilation from the documentary "Workingman's Death", see http://www.workingmansdeath.com
In the 1980s,the Gadani yard was described as the largest ship-breaking yard in the world, with more than 30,000 direct employees. However, competition from newer facilities in India and Bangladesh resulted in a significant reduction in output, with the Gadani yard producing less than one fifth of the scrap it produced twenty years ago. A reduction in taxes on scrap metal led to a modest resurgence at the Yard, which now employs around 6,000 workers.
In this clip we see in about 7 minutes how a ship is placed on the beach and breaking apart.

@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.

@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.
