Bangladesh: People Struggling to Survive in the Most Overpopulated Country in the World

Bangladesh is a land of troubles: the water here is black, the traffic is insane, the people are poor, and the metro only goes one way; children don’t go to school, because they have to help their parents earn a living, and men sell their girlfriends to brothels. Bangladesh is also a place where ships from all over the world end their “life”, and where manual labor is so cheap that it is getting scary. 

With all the problems of Bangladesh, will I be able to see anything good in this small country in South Asia? Let’s find out!

Ship breaking in Bangladesh

Photos from 3 visits to the ship breaking yards in Chittagong in Bangladesh. An unusual experience from a unique place, where large ships are taken apart by hundreds of workers with bare feet and the traditional clothing, a skirt called a Longi. No protection and a lot of pollutions. Every year many people die in the effort of taking the ships apart.

6 Things Polite Passengers Do That Drive Cruise Crew Crazy!

I used to think of myself as a considerate cruise passenger, trying to be polite and help make the crews’ jobs simpler, easier, and more pleasant. But I’ve had to reappraise what I was doing after a crew member discreetly told me on this cruise that I am on that some were having the opposite effect, and could get them into trouble with their boss, affect their ability to get a promotion, and even whether their contract would get renewed.

Surprised by this, I asked the cruise director, waiters, shore excursion staff, guest services, guest entertainers and speakers, and of course my stateroom attendant, what well-intentioned things I was doing on a cruise that I should stop, and importantly be doing instead. The answers were eye-opening.

Бангладеш: Берег Мертвецов - Ранок - Інтер

Берег мертвецов в Бангладеше - это смертельно опасное место, но не для моряков, чьи корабли, словно киты, на полном ходу выбрасываются на берег, а для тех, кто на эти корабли взбирается потом.

Ship accident || COLLISION DUE TO INACTION | Oil TAnker II Ship Accident II Safety of life at sea

Tanker Aframax River Hits Mooring, 88,000 Gallons Of Oil Burn

On July 21, 2017 the International Maritime Organization awarded Captain Michael C. McGee and Captain Michael C. Phillips, members of the Houston Pilots, as the recipients of the 2017 IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea. Amusingly, in a post-accident interview with the US Coast Guard, the second pilot, who had been coordinating the firefighting effort, told investigators, “The harbor tugs, the guys on the boats . . . deserve a medal of meritorious service or whatever might be available. They did an outstanding job.”

Okay, you get it. Everyone did a good job. Now here is what happened.

On September 6, 2016 shortly after midnight, Captain McGee and Captain Phillips were scheduled to pilot the 810-foot-long tanker Aframax River at the Houston Ship Channel. While underway, the vessel experienced a mechanical failure and consequent loss of control, which caused the ship to strike two mooring dolphins (otherwise known as “moorings” — I’m not talking about cetaceans). As a result, a fuel tank ruptured causing a spill of 88,000 gallons diesel fuel that quickly ignited.

The flames, on and around the ship, reached over 200 feet in height, and the raging fire quickly spread across the channel, threatening other tankers and nearby petrochemical facilities.

Despite the imminent danger, both pilots remained at their stations on the bridge of the ship. Captain McGee managed to maneuver the stricken ship away from surrounding ships and facilities while Captain Phillips coordinated communications and firefighting efforts with the United States Coast Guard and numerous local fireboats. Captain Phillips at one point also had to drop the radios and charge a fire hose to fight and extinguish a fire raging on the port bridge wing.

The fire was extinguished after 90 minutes, after which Captain McGee, using assist tugs, was then able to bring the damaged tanker safely to a mooring facility. Good work.

The rest of the story is rather interesting. You can find the complete accident report, investigation documents, and transcripts of US Coast Guard investigators' crew interviews, all at

Tragic moments before sinking - 24/12/16

Authorities are working to contain significant pollution around the Greek island of Andros after a 5,553 dwt general cargo ship, Cabrera, ran aground there on Saturday during treacherous weather conditions. All crew were evacuated and images and videos from the local coast guard suggest the 2007-built ship is a total loss. It is suffering a 45 degree list and appears to be breaking up on rocks.

The vessel was transporting iron from Greece to Finland when the accident occurred.

Bad weather around the Aegean in the past week has seen at least three other minor maritime events. Both debris from the ship breaking up and oil has been reported on the beaches of Andros, one of the closest Greek islands to Athens and a popular weekend destination for Athenians.

The Cabrera is owned by German KG, Erwin Strahlmann.
