Watch: Big Ship Crashes Into Beach for Scrapping and Recycling
The M/F Ostend Spirit, also known as the MS Pride of Calais, was a ferry that spent most of its life doing the shuttle route across the English Channel. She’ll now be completely broken down, piece by piece, for scrapping and recycling at a ship breaking yard in Turkey.
The ship crashes into the beach at full speed, making space for itself between two ships, pushing them aside and coming to a halt eventually.
This kind of beach crashing is a common practice for commencing dismantling at all ship breaking yards around the world. You can read more about ship breaking in the articles below:
