Ship Scrapping- Beaching Video

Not sure where or when this is from but thought it was quite interesting.

Hope they cleared the vessel next door of workers....?

I have a secret dream of one day trying that myself! Must be quite an experience!

very interesting video would love to visit the beaches before and see the ships being dismantled.

The vessel in the video is an ex MOL Containership most probably MOL Initiative ex La Seine (8702915) she was built by Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co. Kure Japan in 1988 Hull No 2967, and was sold for breaking up late 2009.
