  • When one of the world’s ships reaches the end of its useful life, it often ends up on one of three beaches in Southeast Asia—Alang India, Gadani Pakistan, or Chittagong Bangladesh. The ships are grounded at high tide, then slowly disassembled with blowtorches and crowbars. Steel recovered from the ships’ hulls helps feed the construction industry in these developing economies.
  • These four pictures from Planet’s satellites show Alang Beach on March 4, 15, 17, and 23, 2017. The images show old ships vanishing, new ships arriving, and the pace of deconstruction. They may help verify estimates of the amount of steel these activities provide to the local economy.
