- TylerE 2y agoBoth. With western automation, rules and PPE it would be no worse than building the things in the first place
- resolutebat 2y agoIt's probably worse than building them. When building a ship, we have a pretty good idea of how brand new materials for construction behave and have an exact plan for putting them together. Shipbreaking, on the other hand, involves chopping up enormous chunks of rusty steel of unknown but generally terrible condition (that's why they're getting broken up), meaning they can fail in unexpected ways at any time, plus you're basically flying blind because you don't have the original plans etc.
