Boat cemeteries in Asia

Chittagong, the biggest boat cemetery
54 views • August 042, 7

As Bangladesh has no metalliferous deposits, shipbreaking yards in Chittagong, the country's second largest city, are making big money for their owners. Nevertheless, the workers hardly benefit from it. Their salaries are barely enough to make ends meet, no health or safety regulations exist. Accidents are common and fatal cases are not uncommon.

Ship Cemetery: The Last Refuge of the Iron Giants
197 views • 325 Dec. 24

This doomed metal giant, who has spent his life transporting oil, coal, metal, containers or passengers, is picking up speed for one last time. This last trip will be very short: in a few minutes, the ship will hit the sandy beach at full speed. Right now it looks like an unfortunate whale that has decided to run aground on shore, but if in a similar case the behavior of the whales remains a mystery to humans, as far as this vessel is concerned, all is clear. Immediately, like ants, hundreds of people attack and climb on him to rip off his sides with thermal spears and jackhammers. These are the last months of the life of this ship, and it is also a very lucrative, but very dangerous industry with many casualties.

Good subject !!

Who wants to take care of the first and second generation nuclear submarines of the USSR bloc which are slowly but surely rotting in the Barents Sea (for those who do not do so at the bottom of the oceans ...)? : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:

I have always been surprised at the short lifespan of "metallic" ships which rarely exceed 40 years ... Wooden ships are much more durable (with regular maintenance ... maintenance also to be done on "metals ") ...

It is high time to work on more resistant materials or surface treatment for large ships! No ?

Very often they are not dismantled because they are rotten .... But rather because they are no longer profitable ... Because of their fuel consumption, the specialty for which they were built, their size ........ And of course ... The cost of maintenance which increases over the years ...

This is quite true Macro!

One of the most beautiful examples (even a textbook case!) Are the French mega-oil tankers of the BATILLUS class ... more than 550 tonnes of gross ... : Shock:

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batillus

- Designed before the oil shock
- Built during
- Discounted 7 years later (for the Batillus)

The worst part is that there are 4 built ...
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Guillaumat_(navire)
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prairial_(p%C3%A9trolier)
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellamya

The "little" boat next door is an ERIKA tonnage boat just to say ... : Mrgreen:

A fine example of French lack of anticipation ... but the legend remains: they are still the largest tankers ever built ...

Ah the Prairial was only demolished in 2003 ... 1 of the 4 therefore made a "career" ...

Image the quibbler !!

14 Tons, a trifle !! It's just filling up my mob for 000 years! : Mrgreen:

Otherwise it is rather 9600 or 11 T. according to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des ... A9troliers

Then I spoke to PLURAL :) so i'm still right hihihi : Mrgreen:

The sea giant was a unique model ... and he also died but he had a great career of 35 years ...
