Well.. that's one way to dry dock...  gonna take a pretty high tide to get the vessel off the beach...

[BF]

I'd bet that it's being beached to scrap it. 

[PAVALKER]

I think the Harbor Master bet the Captain he could put the fire out on the beach......

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD STEERING.

[Stanley Steamer]

Guess the brakes went out???!!!....

Rooskie dry dock ?

Time to get the torches out boys and get to work.

Someone needs to tell them they can turn off the radar now. They found whatever they were supposed to miss.

Should have dropped the anchors. You do not want it getting away.

Sometimes when you find a good parking spot you just have to go for it!

Reminds me of the wife in a parking garage.

This is Alang shipyard in India. Home of the shipbreakers. This grounding process is repeated many times a month as the tides allow easy grounding of the ships to be scrapped. Most of the aging ships around the globe end their sailing days here. The average ships life span is only about 25 to 30 years; then they become too expensive to maintain, and cheaper to replace. The ships are taken apart piece by piece mostly by cutting torches. Alang is also a very toxic place where very low wage workers; most don't even own shoes, cut these ships up in just a couple of weeks. Deaths are more or less daily. This was once done in the US, and a couple of other countries but regulations have made that impossible and too costly today. Several hundred ships a year are dismantled.

And people have the nerve to complain that the U.S. is not environmentaly clean enough.

Doesn't sound like an Indian dialect nor do they look like natives of the Indian continent.

May just be the machinery, but on the side of the blue machinery at 1:16 is a Turkish flag.  Just sayin,

Yes, you are correct, not Alang but Aliaga shipyard in Turkey. The other giveaway was that the workers have shoes on....
Further research also seems to show that the yards in Turkey, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are now facing more and more environmental restrictions and worker regulations that Alang yards in India are not affected by. Thus higher profits for the scrap companies in India.
