After a ship's useful life is over, it makes its final voyage to a shipbreaking yard, often on a beach in South Asia. Ship breaking or ship demolition is a type of Recycling involving the breaking up of Ships for Scrap. Historically shipbreaking was carried on in drydock in developed countries, but high wages and environmental regulations have resulted in movement of the industry to developing regions.
