Some of these ships were still in quite good condition, well kept and maintained. They obviously had many years of service left in them. Must have been economics that killed them.

isnt it interesting, my whole life I loved watching ships and never once did I ever think that they got to a point in their life when they were not financially operable anymore, I thought they went on to some other country and were put to work there, boyhood fantasy! When management comes to the decision that a ship has to be disposed of virtually all of them simply give or pay some disposal fee to companies in India and this is how that ships life comes to conclusion! I am sure that only the highest governmental pollution standards are met here and in the article I was reading the death toll among workers seems a bit high but then again they are getting paid 6 US dollars a day there is bound to be some risk for that kind of cake! Pretty crazy to say the least!
Never taken a car down that rabbit hole? Where you go im 5k into this 1.5k car i gotta just fix it again just to get my moneys worth for the 5 grand. Big corporations don't do that. They scrap long before. We scrap 50k mile ford rangers at work cause they have idled for 10k hours and repairs are getting to be nonstop
Read somewhere else that ships get structural damaged with cargo that is not loaded or unloaded properly; or storms damage the integrety of the whole vessel, or they just get old and frail, rusted and compromised, so that it cost too much to repair; plus insurance companies will not insure the cargos, if the ship has a high probablility of sinking or causing a disaster in the high seas or in someone's harbor. So the owners have to decide on their demise, and sell them as scrap metal. The owners made billions in the boat lifespan, so no loss. // Same goes for airplanes.

Makes me want to buy one and sail it away again.😂
When I was a kid I dreamed of owning my own tramp steamer one day and sailing around the world carrying cargo port to port.
I didn't know how expensive that would be to do, nor how much shipping changed in the way and size that cargo is carried.
@Şems Aktuğ shut up
I also wanted a tramp steamer when I was a kid, mostly due to watching the 2005 King Kong a lot
If I was bring those ships in I'd be running them engines out like a scalded coyote with the valves red hot ready to melt and a tank of LP blow'in into the air intakes
The ship at 4:00 looked pretty decent , why they scrapped it ?
Money
I believe it was a cruise ship. Covid shut down cruise lines, and These ships cost thousands of dollars a day to even just sit there. If it's not Making the owners money, they're not going to keep it around.
Да что ты дудишь??!! Дави их нахрен!!! Скажут: "Карма такая" 😂😂😂😂😂
It's kind of weird to see how slow these monsters seem to be moving 😳🤔
That red and white ship was a beauty
Imágenes impresionantes, nunca imagine que un barco, podría hacer eso.🇦🇷⛴
Imagine.. these were once beautiful beaches.. now this..
True
I was thinking the same thing.
Once they were beautiful ships too.....
@@davidlockwood9192 yeah, I hate seeing a good boat die.
😂
Fascinating and boring AF at the same time🤣🤣
Gonna need a lot of stone crabs to get that one back in.
Yo ho me matetys!!! And a bottle of rum!!
Can you imagine the pollution in that area.
If you want an omlette you need to break an egg. One of those ships probably delivered some product or the materials used to make a product that you used in your home or car. Go live in the woods like Tarzan and shut your mouth as you strap on your loin cloth, you knuckle dragger.
Can you imagine the pollution those ships caused and delivered? All part of the circle of life.

So what?
@@ThekiBoran time to be better. The world's changing. A century from now we will look back at the 1900s and 2000s like an uncivilized people.

I welcome advances in technology - faster, cleaner, more efficient - but it seems the socialists have an anti-human political agenda behind their virtue signaling. There's a difference between good stewardship of our resources and the control freakery the socialists advocate.
Why do ships like that get beached? Are they being decommissioned?
check out ship breaking
You can just rell how much pollution goes straight in to the sea from cutting them up on the beach.
nothing stops a million ton object like mother earth
This must be the ship version of a run away truck ramp.
(Just kidding, I know these vessels are being...decommissioned shall we say? Kinda sad really.)
Did you see many of them is Turkish?
This is a sad film. The ship @2.30 is particularly nice. Got a retro look about it.
The mournful final hailing of the horns actually got me all teared up .
You are such a snowflake
@@MegaSahil009 cheers. do you feel better about yourself now?
@@virginiacharlotte7007 if some unfit metal being recycled into something useful was so hard for you, then my comment would have shattered you snowflake, I'm sorry for that LOL
@@MegaSahil009 Nup. Still standing strong. Don’t actually get too many snowflakes Down Under. Yet, you will likely always be a bit of a tosser, Mate. Have nice life.
Some of these scrap ships still look in great condition
I worked one vessel which was sold.
Vessel was at good conditions
During covid the number of vessels being scrapped increased one cruise liner company scrapped a few ships saving some of the valuable spare parts for the rest of their fleet.
@@Gigabite108 often it's cheaper to went in a 3rd world country instead of recycling it like in Europe or the US where are regulation for recycling
Horns wailing too the sea!! She be a bitter Mistress. Sail on sail free. Thank you for your years of service!!
I am sick of being told that we need to be more environmentally conscious in the west, then we see the filthy junk yard oil and mess being left on the beaches and in the sea
Последняя стоянка здесь их порежут на металл, печалька.
Just before it hits the beach “ everyone run to the back of the ship…. Ha ha ha ha”, never gets old
Что значит сила трения такая махина сразу колом встает
isnt it interesting, my whole life I loved watching ships and never once did I ever think that they got to a point in their life when they were not financially operable anymore, I thought they went on to some other country and were put to work there, boyhood fantasy! When management comes to the decision that a ship has to be disposed of virtually all of them simply give or pay some disposal fee to companies in India and this is how that ships life comes to conclusion! I am sure that only the highest governmental pollution standards are met here and in the article I was reading the death toll among workers seems a bit high but then again they are getting paid 6 US dollars a day there is bound to be some risk for that kind of cake! Pretty crazy to say the least!
Never taken a car down that rabbit hole? Where you go im 5k into this 1.5k car i gotta just fix it again just to get my moneys worth for the 5 grand. Big corporations don't do that. They scrap long before. We scrap 50k mile ford rangers at work cause they have idled for 10k hours and repairs are getting to be nonstop
Sure am glad I dispose of my used oil properly, I would hate for anything bad to go into the ocean ever.
Read somewhere else that ships get structural damaged with cargo that is not loaded or unloaded properly; or storms damage the integrety of the whole vessel, or they just get old and frail, rusted and compromised, so that it cost too much to repair; plus insurance companies will not insure the cargos, if the ship has a high probablility of sinking or causing a disaster in the high seas or in someone's harbor. So the owners have to decide on their demise, and sell them as scrap metal. The owners made billions in the boat lifespan, so no loss. // Same goes for airplanes.
Eppure, un paio di queste navi non sembravano proprio da buttare via. Potevano regalarle a qualche stato o compagnia navale. E pensare che ogni anno nel mondo si buttano alimenti in quantità tale che camion in fila pieni di cibo eliminato potrebbero fare 3 volte il giro del mondo. Che spreco di ricchezza...
Good for the environment 👍
Они кричали "Прощай Океан!!!"...
when your ship comes in!
Ship look in great shape
