Cruise Ship Scrapping Explored

Ships have ended their days at scrap yards for about as long as ships have been around.

Scrapping a ship can be a dangerous activity that requires skill and experience to be carried out successfully.

It allows materials such as steel, aluminium, glass etc. to be extracted, reused and repurposed.

For the most part, ships are withdrawn from service as newer vessels come online to replace them. This is a gradual process – with some ships being retained longer than others due to high demand, or delays in the construction of their replacements.

Most ships that have existed have ended their days in a scrapyard. This includes some of the most famous passenger liners of all time such as Mauretania, Olympic, Berengaria and even Normandie after she was lost to fire during WWII.

While scrap is a common fate for most ships, in recent years cruise ships have been kept in service for longer and longer – thanks to the unprecedented global cruising boom experienced over the past few decades.

This isn’t to say cruise ships haven’t been broken up during this time, with older vessels such as SS Norway, the former Pacific Princess “Love Boat” and the former P&O Pacific Sky, Pacific Pearl and Pacific Jewel all being scrapped over the last two decades.

Costa Victoria, Carnival Fantasy, Carnival Inspiration and Pullmantur’s Sovereign and Monarch have all been sold for scrap in recent years as the toll of the Pandemic damaged cruising.

And it might surprise you though that the majority of the things on board the ship, such as dining tables and chairs, beds, lighting and carpets are left aboard and either on-sold or recycled by the scrap yard.

Collectors often bid on these items in an attempt to save some of the shipping history found aboard these vessels.

While ships like Canberra, Big Red Boat II, Carnival Fantasy, Carnival Inspiration, Sovereign and Monarch sailed to scrap wearing their original name and livery, in some cases ships bound for the scrap yard may be renamed and de-branded before their final voyage.

For example, the SS Norway was renamed Blue Lady before she made her final journey to Alang. Norwegian Cruise Line branding was removed from the ship in advance of her final voyage.

While the media attention has been grabbed with dramatic footage of cruise ships being driven up onto the beach under their own power – this is not always the case.

Norway, for example, was taken under tow owing to her engines being unserviceable after an on board explosion – which was actually the cause of her exit from service.

More recently this was seen with the Costa Concordia. Having been partially re-floated, the ship was towed to Genoa in Italy where she was dismantled.

.... Guys I'm 5000 words into the fanfic I'm writing, send help. Anyway summary doodle of the scene where Goob and Scraps fight over Finn like a doll they won't share. Featuring each character's idea of what a relationship with Shrimpo would look like

[diamondzart]

I get why people may insist that Fear and Anxiety have sibling vibes and not romantic ones but in that case THERE WOULDN’T BE A LITERAL “I CAN FIX HER” JOKE right in the movie, come on guys 😆

Look at the faces this mf makes while mentioning her?

I mean would they expect people to NOT ship it? I am dead sure they saw this coming. Too many hints, too many. They had test screenings with teenage girls of all people. They are real experts in stuff like this!

Y'all are actually insane for the amount of traction these drawings are getting like holy moly (ILY all!!!!)

Finn: Woah.

I love making shitposts with free time it's so fun.

I also love conceptualizing designs that I'm never going to keep consistent lol. Also, more Shimmer bc I love Shimmer and I really want others to like Shimmer too.

And here's an assortment of ship art (and angst) eat up pooks!

First up, TOYBOX!!!!!!

Poppy and Boxten being sibling energy is based. She knows what Boxten is. Also Goob and Boxten cuddle and comfort each other at night and AUGHHHH💖💖💖💖💖

Next up, BUBBLEART!!!!!

Live laugh love bad bitches who kiss <3333

Scraps has to be really careful with her claws and sharp paper points with Poppy as to not injure her. Poppy does not really care being scatched up a little if it means hanging out with her lovely girlfriend.

AND FINALLY??? SHINYSHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMPPPPP

Finn: You mean to tell me a shrimp fried this rice? Glisten: Only the finest shrimp I know~

I am a firm believer that Shrimpo is a one trick pony in the kitchen and that trick is fried rice. He can't make anything else besides that and hates all the jokes that come with it.

(QWEL PLEEEEEEEASE MAKE THE SHRIMP-FRIED RICE JOKE CANON I BEEEEEGGGGG)

ALSO AAAAAAAAGNSTTTTTTTTTTTT

Shimmer: I knew we'd find you Dad! I knew it! I knew IT!! Glisten: S-shhh-Shimmer?? You're... here? This is real? I'm not... dreaming?

*Jingle jingle* I drew Twisted Glisten give me likes *jingle jingle* /j

But yeah, separation anxiety man gets to see his daughter after being believed to have gone missing (in her eyes) for a few weeks now. However, he can't come with them so that's gonna make this situation interesting lol.

Hurt comfort hurt my beloved.

But that's it for today, have a good one guys!!

[spicyfingersart]

some demoman for the real ones

[jacqcrisis]

I can't stop thinking about the rings on Hermes' fingers. I can't. Whats the story behind those? Did he start wearing them because Charon gave them to him as a job well done? The weirdest gift imaginable to your professional associate?

Did Hermes steal them to be a cheeky bastard and got them fitted and put them on for the jokes? Did he start wearing them apropos of nothing? Just happen to start accessorizing like his professional associate? Is it part of a shared uniform? Can we see the employee handbook?

Did Charon go out and get rings commissioned to look exactly like his for not one, but two of his partner in crimes' fingers, slide each lovingly onto Hermes' corresponding digits, and then gently hold his now bejeweled hands in his own to see how they match, knowing Hermes will now carry something of Charon with him when he leaves him for his dangerous work?

I'm just. Asking. Questions. But I swear to God, if we get Charon's portrait and he has a feather or an orange ribbon somewhere on his person, I will be inconsolable for days.
