Shipbreaking in the third world

[doobin]

Complete disregard for health and safety and environmental concerns as you would expect. The bit that tickled me the most was at 13:30. A tanker of liquid oxgen arrives on site, and the camera proudly pauses for a while on the sign on the tanker body saying 'ISO 9002'. Yes massa. We accredited.

Around this sign are what I would swear are bullet dents, painted in red oxide.

Watch at 18:22 and try not to curl your toes as the loader driver picks up a sheet on the forks 2/3rds off centre and then swings it over the other workers heads.

Bring back colonialism I say.

Great film. Impressive what a low tech operation can achieve. Their costs per tonne salvaged must be a fraction of what it would be here.
Don't fancy working there myself though.

Interesting film! Surprised how small they cut it up, we cut up a lot of things and it's scary how like working with my old man that is!

Nothing worse than trying to cut rusty/scaley metal with a burner

not quite on the simple tech scale of the beaching above, but a ship related video I tripped over a few nights ago ..... very interesting ..... is there nothing Mammoet will not tackle .... oh and there's a bit of earth moving involved too

On edit....
Bugger .... forgot the link

It just shows the profits involved with mining when it’s cost effective to move that dredge around the world along with the associated works.

I looked into getting this set up will cut rusty plate

that is bloody impressive .... even more so with the hand on the cutting head afterwards

got the tank a bit close for comfort for me though

tell me more Mog

 

[Grahams]

That is some pretty impressive cutting, especially if it is filmed in real time.

Very interesting. In reality it is pretty simple. Now they have perfected those bogeys they can move virtually anything with enough thinking it out before hand.

yes those multi axle lines are some tools .... as you say enough fore-thought is required though ... to avoid this sort of issue .....

That looks like an expensive dip in the water Druid

Aye if they were going to do that why did they bother putting it on the boat first?

Probably not as dear as the recovery operation was

The ship breaking is one thing but the fact that these people have nuclear weapons scares me a whole lot more that and the orange haired retard that lives south of my country.
