within the current parameters of recycling large vessels, it not a fail. It is a very efficient way of bringing thousands of tons of metal within reach of desperately poor workers.
The whole process, however, is a disaster for the environment and for many of the workers.
Sloppy sub-editing. The video does not meet the editorial definition " boat fail: when someone tries to do something on a boat, which has an embarrassing, hilarious or unexpected outcome."

It's not at all as described by the accompanying text.
Disappointing that YBW are regurgitating this kind of YouTube dross.

Classic way to berth a ship in a scrapyard in some countries, full ahead, build up speed, run aground as far up the beach as possible.
But which country, I could not identify the flag ?

Precisely
It's not a fail at all - it is how one puts a ship onto Alang beach for dismantling, and that is exactly what is happening. Far from being a captains worst nightmare to this day it remains about the most fun a captain can have with his trousers on. MBM should stick to what it knows.

Not only is this the normal way to deliver a ship to the Alang scrappies but a search on
UTUBE will find the view with comments from the bridge of same ship.... Typical lack of
knowledge of the wide world by the occupants of IPC Towers

Click on the news tab at the top and you'll find it, but it's not really worth the effort!

I have tried clicking everything in sight but no video appears. Is it yet another part of the 21st century that is passing me by?

Thanks for that.
Great fun!!
I have been there and the thing that amazed me was the miles of copper pipe running along the beach through the sand carrying oxygen to the cutting torches from the big tanks of liquid oxygen just up the top of the beach.
The winches on sections of old decking were also amazing to watch as they usew the aerial wire sytem to transport chunks of steel, up to about 10 tonnes each, from the wreck to the shore for transport to the yards.

They'll never notice it with all the other **** they pour into the sea around those coasts.
