Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard History
The Chittagong ship breaking yard in Bangladesh has a storied history, once thriving as the world's largest shipbreaking site. Initially, it served as a bustling hub for ship breaking in Bangladesh, where massive vessels met their end and were repurposed for various uses. The yard's significance in the global shipbreaking industry was unparalleled.
Evolution of Ship Breaking in Bangladesh
Over the years, the Chittagong ship breaking yard in Bangladesh has seen significant evolution. The ship breaking industry in Bangladesh adapted to changing regulations and environmental concerns, making strides towards safer and more sustainable practices. Ship breaking Bangladesh has become a vital part of the local economy, providing employment and resources.
Recent Decline of Bangladesh Ship Breaking
In recent years, the industry has faced challenges leading to a decline in activity.

However, efforts continue to preserve the legacy of ship breaking Bangladesh, balancing economic needs with environmental and safety standards.

Things you should know about Chittagong ship breaking yard tour (1-Day)
Is it safe to travel to the shipbreaking yard?
There were some unwritten restrictions in that area before, and law enforcement was not helpful in assisting tourists. The situation is better now, but we recommend you not to travel alone.
When is the best time for this tour?
We do not recommend this tour during the rainy season as the ocean will be unpredictable at those times. It is better to book this tour from September to March.
From what distance can I see the shipbreaking yard, and how close can we go?
Normally, during high tide, the distance will be less than during low tide. So we cannot provide the exact distance from where you can see the yard.
Can we walk inside the Chittagong ship breaking yard?
No, during our tour, we use an engine fishing boat as this area is not developed for tourists, so we use fishing boats.
