this picture is clicked in GOA..DEMPO shipyard...as dads ship was in goa for many days he was like y dont u come down to goa... well i was more than happy to go to goa for obvious reasons...
well i am writing bout dry dock so lets get to it... the place where the ship is parked is called a DRY DOCK .dry dock is a place which is perpendicular to the shore.. its like a narrow passage where the ship can fit...the ship is navigated into the dry dock through small ships also called "tugs"..
the ship is navigated n then the gates r closed from behind n then the water is flooded out...so its like a big vessel n the ship is parked in it ....after flooding the water out the ship is being rested on big tough heavy duty logs....this allows the workers to work on the hull of the ship..this ship MANGALAM was there for maintenance... over 300 tonns of steel was scraped....this ship was here for 4 months...n the rent of this dry dock is 15 k per day.... now u do the math !!! but still this was a small time dry dock...there r big times docks which charge in 100k per day.....
Mast re bhidu!

shreyas n blogging! 'not listening at all uh?' hahaha....i think this scrapping of ships is also very hazardous to the environment...ships from all over the world come to some port in Gujarat to get scrapped as the Ind govt doesn't care about it...already itna kachra hain aur thoda karne se kya hoga...uske upar pasia bhi milega...such is the pathetic thinking...
