Ship Breaking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ship breaking or ship demolition is a type of ship disposal involving the breaking up of ships for either a source of parts, which can be sold for re-use, or for the extraction of raw materials, chiefly scrap. It may also be known as ship dismantling, ship cracking, ship recycling, or ship disposal. Modern ships have a lifespan of a 25-30 years before corrosion, metal fatigue and a lack of parts render it uneconomical to run.
