It is incredible to me that it is more cost effective to destroy and sell a ship than it is to keep it in port and leave it intact. It is also nice to see that the salvage yard has made improvements that benefit the workers and the environment.

[@ourtime-downhere6931]

Watch some videos on the ones in Bangladesh, the conditions are horrible and they couldn't care less about the workers let alone the environment. It's nice to see that some places have better practices but the fact two people have died this year already still shows a severe lack of safety requirements to protect workers. I work construction and where I work a single lost time incident is not acceptable let alone a serious injury or death. I'm fortunate to work under regulations that keep me safe, it's sad that these people's employers don't ensure the same level of care.

Also interesting to note is that these yards are now getting a very good price for steel due to the tariff war between China and Australia combined with Covid-19. Australia is the biggest supplier of iron ore and China is the biggest user. During the pandemic the Chinese government has turned to increase infrastructure investing like they always do during economic downturn in order to stimulate the economy. The supply of iron for China has lessened because of politics between them and Australia therefore recycled steel is a becoming more popular and thus valuable.
