Gadani Ship Breaking YardBy jbottero(2026-10-18)Gadani Ship Breaking Yard is the world's third largest ship breaking yard located across a 10 km long beachfront at Gadani, Pakistan. The yard consists of 132 ship-breaking plots. It is located about 40 km northwest of Karachi, the largest city of Pakistan. In the 1980s, Gadani was the largest ship-breaking yard in the world, with more than 30,000 direct employees. However, competition from newer facilities in Alang, India and Chittagong, Bangladesh resulted in a significant reduction in output, with Gadani today producing less than one fifth of the scrap it produced in the 1980s. Today, Gadani now employs around 6,000 workers. After an almost 8 year hiatus due to economic issues, ship recycling operations have officially resumed at the Gadani Ship Breaking Yard with the help of government incentives.
