Modernization of Gaddani Shipbreaking Yard

Gadani ship-breaking yard is the world’s third largest ship breaking yard. The yard consists of 132 ship-breaking located across a 10 km long beachfront at Gadani, Pakistan, about 50 kilometers northwest of Karachi. Gadani currently has an annual capacity of breaking up to 125 ships of all sizes, including supertankers, with a combined LDT of 1,000,000 tons.

 

Although Gadani ranks as the world’s third largest ship breaking yard after Alang and Chittagong in terms of volume, it is the world’s leading ship breaking yard in terms of efficiency. At Gadani, a ship with 5,000 LDT is broken within 30 to 45 days, whereas in India and Bangladesh, it takes, on average, more than six months for breaking a vessel of the same size.
