23 mistede livet på ophugningsstrande

En ny statistik fra Shipbreaking Platform viser, at 23 mennesker mistede livet og 66 kom alvorligt til skade ved arbejdsulykker på de berygtede ophugningsstrande i Asien, hvor også danske skibe ender deres dage.

”Arbejdsforholdene på de strande er ikke dårlige. De er forfærdelige”, siger Sigurd Enge, rådgiver i den norske miljøorganisation Bellona, til Ekstra Bladet.

”Tallet omfatter kun de dødsfald og skader, der er sket under arbejdet på strandene. Men flere bliver også syge og dør på grund af de dampe, de udsættes for under arbejdet, så der er et stort mørketal”, siger Sigurd Enge til avisen.

Ekstra Bladet har tidligere skrevet, at danske skibsredere siden 2009 har sendt 16 skibe til ophugning på strande i Pakistan, Indien og Bangladesh.

Langt de fleste skibe sendes dog ikke direkte til ophugningsstrandene, men sælges først til mellemmænd der derefter sender skibene ud på deres sidste rejse der ender på en strand.
