Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard is located in Faujdarhat, Sitakunda Upazila, Bangladesh along the 18 kilometres (11 mi) Sitakunda coastal strip, 20 kilometres (12 mi) north-west of Chittagong.[1] Handling about a fifth of the world's total, it was the world's largest ship breaking yard,[2] until that record was taken by Alang in India.[3] It employs over 200,000 Bangladeshis, and accounts for around one-half of all the steel in Bangladesh.[2]
It is the world's second-largest ship breaking yard after Alang Ship Breaking Yard (India), followed by Gadani ship-breaking yard (Pakistan) and Aliağa Ship Breaking Yard (Turkey).[4]
