This ship "venia" is a 172,000 DWT (cargo carrying capacity) 'capesize' bulk carrier (usual cargo = iron ore or coal) built 2001 in South Korea, she is 289m long and 45m wide and in this video she is being delivered to a recycling yard in Pakistan for demolition where her steel and some on board equipment will be recycled (mainly into steel plate and rebar). Her physical weight is about 23,112 LDT (light displacement tons) and she was sold to the breaking yard for about $455 per LDT = about $10,516,000 in October 2024. By comparison Exxon Valdez (which some other comments refer to) was a VLCC (Very large crude oil carrier / tanker) of about 215,000 DWT, 301m long and 51m wide, built 1986 in USA and scrapped (recycled) in India in 2012.
Scrapyards are paying $10 million for a scrap ship? They make more than $10 million per large ship like this when they add up all the scrap they can sell?
It's painful to watch these old work horses run up onto a beach then left beached with engines still running, Main is running, lights still on so gensets are still running, until the coolant pumps suck themselves full of sand and the engines fault on overheat. I wonder if anyone is even still in the machinery rooms or if they just walk away, like they don't know how to shut the equipment down.?
It does look like they continued to run the main engine as you can see the propeller spinning so yes sadly they probably ran it until the water intakes were filled with sand and then overheat the engines, just sad to see big machines like this die like this. No dignity.
So many dumb questions. It's one of several beaches where ships are sent to be broken up for scrap. There's one in India and I believe another in Bangladesh, plus others in other places, mostly where there's not too much regulation as the process is far from safe either for the workers or the environment. The key is the shape of the beach which allows the ship to be run aground at high tide. Ships are scrapped for a variety of reasons but mostly because they are no longer useful due to age or no longer competitive. Just because it still floats and runs doesn't mean it's in good working order.
Indeed, this is the most sensible statement posted on here. It's sad really, these children are unaware that they trapped in a life where they will live and die in, while toiling to dismantle these ships, under the harshest and most dangerous of conditions, with little pay and no way out.
Los buques tremendos usados, que ya cumplieron su vida útil, ya puden ser desguazados, de principio a fin, de cabo a rabo y viceversa,eh ahí los dilemas.
I honestly don't understand why they would do such a thing putting the ship like that on the beach it doesn't make any sense how do you supposed to get it off the beach
Agreed!! Too many videos ruined by stupid zooming. Totally not necessary. All that zooming and wild panning makes me dizzy, and adds nothing to the video.

you realy love ships .

@@Kevin-Murphy-007 Were they running the engines to burn off as much fuel as possible?
everyone getting emotional about a big lump of steel 😂😂😂
Totally agree it’s just what I thinks always about the engines and I thought it were just me 😅

Unless they are serial killers.
True.. but they're probably happier than western kids..with higher suicide rates.
Pity to watch a ship running to it's grave ... rip😢
Same thing with aircraft.😐
The kids will be working on it very soon.
But not for long.
Certainly not with all their limbs attached.
That engine burns impressingly clean.
So did the VW’s.
9:07 hay, buddy, I wouldn't fancy swimming next to that thing/ the propeller spinning like that!!!!😮
lets all chip in and buy one
مشهد جميل❤ 1:10
Running when parked.
The Exxon Valdez had red paint on it and some black, I remember
I've never seen a ship park on the beach before!!😮

Scrapers 😂
Exclant good 👍
Strange looks like low tide, maybe not
I honestly don't understand why they would do such a thing putting the ship like that on the beach it doesn't make any sense how do you supposed to get it off the beach
It will be dismantled, broken for scrap ….. not economically possible to dismantle it in a dockyard.
It has arrived at the 'shipbreaker'...
It's being scrapped. Everything will be torn down and everything sold for scrap
They are going to rip it apart for scrap metal
@@anthonybasile5035 yep
Is that the Exxon Valdez?
I need that to keep my lose change in
Question remains: why would you strand your ship on a beach with the engines stil running...? Weird!
To empty fuel tanks maybe? 🤷 I don't know, but maybe...
Theyr being broken
The hulls are made into re bar
I think its either lndia or Pakistan
It's where ships go to be broken up by crews and the materials repurposed. A very dangerous profession as they have little safety measures.
We don’t build ships, we don’t sail ships, we don’t maintain ships, we don’t dismantle ships. We are America.
😂😂😂😂😂😂SHUP. MAKE COMIRNATY GREAT AGAIN
To the scrap yard. Time is money.
What? They're _scrapping_ that ship?
It still has _decades_ of service left - as a Chinese anchor dragger in the Baltic Sea.
Built in 2001. Yeah, plenty left! lol
@@TruthProvider Yeah they could have sold it to Russia so they can use it for the dark fleet
Where is this Being done
Bangladesh
Malibu
No it's not the Exon Valdez
Seguramente ese no es su verdadero nombre.
Damn...
Who and why?
More pollution.
Sure would hate to pay that parking ticket. And it's handicapped! 😊 9:07
Too much zooming!

@mariotorres6287 Lol.... Were you affected that much. He filmed his video the way he wanted to
That is not a very good idea of letting the kids work on those ships, Sheesh what are you thinking ? To me that is Child endangerment.
Ship ok! The plane the plane the plane is coming, guess who, lol
Tatu
Dad is excited because now he will have plenty of work to buy rice and Curry 🍛
No English speaking ha,😂
So what is your point? It is a big ship beaching, do you need an explanation?
the problem of the ship is that the engine cannot be stopped
Why not?
I’m sure this is environmentally safe

👍👍👍
Only in the land where the guys wear dresses, does it make for common practice to drive a ship upon the beach, then laugh about it with your children.
you're gay
It's all "💰" for them.
