  • BANGLADESH CHITTAGONG MADHOM BIBIR HAT OCT00 - Labourers carry up to half-ton metal plates on their bare shoulders. Due to the heaviness of the plates, they chant rythmic songs to harmonise breathing and walking, a technique already applied by slave-gangs several centuries ago.<br />
<br />
Several thousand labourers work on one medium-sized (50,000 ton) ship for a period of around three months, until it is completely dismantled and taken apart. <br />
<br />
Since Bangladesh does not possess mineral resources such as iron ore, it works out more cost-efficient to employ a large army of day-labourers to recycle the scrapped ships rather than to import ore. On average, a labourer can expect to earn a little more than 1 US Dollar per day.<br />

  • GREENLAND DAVIS STRAIT 17JUN11 -– The International Executive Director of Greenpeace, Kumi Naidoo, has entered an exclusion zone to scale a controversial Arctic oil rig 120km off the coast of Greenland...At 5am this morning an inflatable speedboat carrying Naidoo was launched from the Greenpeace ship Esperanza. It evaded a Danish navy warship that has been circling the rig for several weeks then he climbed a 30 metre ladder up the outside of one of the platform’s giant legs...His action comes a week after the operators of the oil platform, Cairn Energy, obtained an injunction against Greenpeace from a Dutch court, imposing fines of 50,000 Euros a day for any breach of the exclusion zone...Photo by Jiri Rezac / Greenpeace

  • NORWAY LOFOTEN 29MAR07 - Stockfish racks in Hamnoy on the Lofoten islands.<br />
<br />
North-East Arctic Cod have played an important role on the islands for thousands of years. At home north of the Arctic Circle, the fish come from the Barents Sea to Lofoten in early January to spawn by the tens of millons. January also marks the beginning of the fishing season, which lasts until the end of March, during which some 25000 guest fishermen join forces with about 3000 who live on the islands permanently - together they catch about 35000 tons of cod.<br />
<br />
The drying of food is the world's oldest known preservation method, and dried fish has a storage life of several years. Beside oil and gas, sun-dried stockfish is Norway's longest sustained and historically most profitable export commodity, as it is extremely popular and widely consumed in Catholic Mediterranean countries, notably Portugal, Spain and Italy. It also remains part of the national cuisines of the Caribbean, having arrived there with the so-called triangular trade during colonial times.<br />

  • BANGLADESH CHITTAGONG MADHOM BIBIR HAT OCT00 - Portrait of (a) labourer (s) at work on the ship-breaking beaches of Chittagong.<br />
<br />
Several thousand labourers work on one medium-sized (50,000 ton) ship for a period of around three months, until it is completely dismantled and taken apart. <br />
<br />
Since Bangladesh does not possess mineral resources such as iron ore, it works out more cost-efficient to employ a large army of day-labourers to recycle the scrapped ships rather than to import ore. On average, a labourer can expect to earn a little more than 1 US Dollar per day.<br />
