The Chittagong shipbreaking yards, located along the 8 km long coastline of Chittagong, are the last resting place, from across the world, for the gigantic commercial ocean-going cargos. The ships are driven right up onto the shoreline, then hit by hammer and blowtorch until all usable material has been stripped away to be sold or recycled, primarily the steel - for scrap.

For many environmental and labor issues, many foreign tourists wish to visit and see for themselves, international labor law, and the denial of practicing labor law on the ground has made Chittagong shipbreaking yards much controversial.

This must-do activity in Chittagong will enable you to visit Chittagong ship-breaking yards in the shortest possible time. In this tour, you will have an opportunity to visit the yards from many angles depending on the tide timetable or the flexibility of the security person on the yard and so on. This tour will start from Dhaka and end at Dhaka by an evening taking a flight or express train, although the express trains are hyper tough to secure the ticket.

Good to know

We can pick-up and drop off at any place of the Dhaka city. 

The express train service is not available on Saturday, Tuesday, and Friday. 

There will be a light breakfast provided on the flight to Chittagong by the airlines.

There are restrictions from the owner of the yard to get access through the land but from a remote distance, you can have a look that is not that clear. That’s why we will hire a fisherman boat and explore the shipbreaking yards and activities of the worker from boat. So pick up time and departure time from Chittagong might be adjusted and that is subject to high tide and low tide of that are on that particular date. 

We always prefer you to make the booing for this tour at least 2 weeks before.
