  1. I'm sure it's not cost effective. Maintenance on a ship, even if just tied up, is horrendous.

  3. Compare them to the great trans-Atlantic liners of days past.

  4. I don't feel horrible for them. They are paid well for their job and they do it voluntarily.

  5. No food preparation or storage facilities in your "apartment." You would have to go to a public dining room every time to eat.

  10. It was a very interesting look into a huge industry you don't hear too much about.

  13. The dangers ship breakers face is quite similar to coal miners: Fumes, possible long term health effects, injury and even death on the job. For big money people are willing to do it just as our coal miners in the USA made good money before the industry mostly collapsed. These people are performing a needed function and deserve whatever monetary rewards afforded them. We used to scrap ships in the USA, but I guess that industry, like so many others, has moved to other countries.

  17. Not entirely throw-away. Everything's recycled.

  18.  @JosePineda-jn8jk  All I can say is they do the best they can with it. You're right in that it's impossible to recycle everything.

  20. Scrapping them hasn't been brought to its knees! :-)
