BANGLADESH: Ship-breaking in Sitakundu
As they lack the necessary machinery, the men carry the pieces of metal salvaged from broken ships through the yard. In the south of Bangladesh, at Sitakundu near Chittagong, is a large shipping graveyard where the world's ships pile up to be dismantled by Bangladeshi workers. People employed by the dismantling companies take apart the giant carcasses, which contain asbestos and other toxic materials, without protective clothing or proper equipment. They break up the ships in order to recover the steel that can be sold on at a profit. Chittagong, BANGLADESH - January 2010./1002011452 (FOTO: DUKAS/SIPA)
