00:00Here is Aliaga, the cruise ship cemetery.
00:02Located in Turkey, Aliaga recycles about 80% of the world's ships at the end of their lives,
00:06including cruise ships since the COVID-19 crisis.
00:09This activity, although beneficial for the local economy,
00:11poses many environmental and social problems.
00:14Indeed, dismantling releases toxic substances such as ammonia and heavy metals,
00:17polluting both water and air.
00:18In addition, the dangerous working conditions and the exploitation of workers
00:22have also been the subject of great concern.
