Dry dock: With one of the world's longest beaches,
Chittagong is Bangladesh's biggest port. Half of the world's
supertankers are disassembled here. When the tide is high,
vessels are driven at full speed toward the shore. Once the
water recedes and the ships rest along the muddy beach,
the salvage crews move in, emptying the vessels of
evrtig on bard.|

All aboard: Conditions in the shipyards are dan
gerous. Many workers are barefoot and without
gloves, carefully avoiding razor-sharp metal, hot
steel, and pollutants. For all its hazards, the ship
breaking industry employs, directly or indirectly, an estimated 200,000 Bangladeshis.

Waste not: The scrap metal stripped off these vessels
supplies 80 percent of Bangladesh's steel. Eventually,
nothing but tiny fragments remain, buried in the mud.
From dawn to dusk, local women and children scavenge
the beach, collecting these small shards of metal to sell
to Chittagong's local merchants.
