- Description: The ship breaking industry along the coasts of Sitakunda, started its operation in 1960. Due to lower labor costs and less tight environmental regulations the salvage yard expanded in a very short time, seriously damaging the environment and ecosystem of the coastal belt. Huge casualties and loss of lives due to poor safety regulations occurs every year. Scrap Ships provide more than 80% of the countrys steel needs and around three million people are directly or indirectly involved with the industry, among whom 40 percent are child laborers. Even in this treacherous conditions, people from all over Bangladesh particularly from poverty ridden northern districts, come to this industry for livelihood. Sitakunda, in Chittagong, Bangladesh. July 23, 2008.
