The Ship Breakers Industry In Indonesia
An Indonesian shipyard worker uses a blow torch to break up parts of a ship brought to shore for scrap metal at a ship breaking yard in Jakarta, Indonesia, August 9, 2019. More than 90 percent of the world's ocean-going container ships end up on the shores of India, Pakistan, Indonesia, or Bangladesh, where labor is cheap, demand for steel is high, and environmental regulations are lax. Ships are driven into the 10km beach strip here at high tide, where demolition begins for a fee usually no more than USD12 per day for the workers. (Photo by Andrew Gal/NurPhoto)
