The four largest ship breaking nations are India, China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. In total, they handle an estimated 85% of the world's ship recycling (National Geographic). Ship breaking is big business. It's also one of the most dangerous professions. Workers constantly face the dangers of falling materials, fires, and electric shocks.
Naturally, Nihab and I choose the less touristy destinations. We hopped on a boat to visit the ship breaking yard. We wanted to get some shots of the workers in their environment to highlight the industry.
What a surreal experience to walk through the ship breaking yard of Dhaka. Hoping to head to Chittagong soon to check more out.
Check out some pics of the ship breakers in my blog.

DANIELSON conquers Mijas, Spain!
I've fallen in love with this adorable Spanish town. So many fun places to explore, mountain trails to run, cafe con leches to drink, and sunrises to watch.
One of the perks of being strategically homeless. You can live anywhere 🙌
Stay tuned for more travel updates!
