Congratulations to Zoriah.net contributor G.M.B Akash for winning the
prestigious Travel Photographer of the Year award.  Since his last post
here, Akash has been busy with a cover story for  Geo, a cover photo on
the Guardian and as usual, winning more awards than anyone I know.  I am
very pleased to present Akash’s recent, award winning work on Ship Breaking
in Pakistan.

From Akash:

Ships are purchased and then demolished in ship breaking yards and sent to
steel re-rolling mills for reuse as raw material for production of steel.
Currently, the international ship demolition market is centered on the
Indian subcontinent, while a large number of tankers find their way to
scrap yards in Pakistan and Bangladesh,

The workers in Gaddani, Pakistan are mostly Pashtu people from the Northern
Territories close to the Afghan border.  They are seasonal workers,
spending the other part of their time working as farmers in their
homelands.  They are quite poor and what you would call fundamentalists in
their Islamic believes.  They are hard workers, tall, strong, and proud
yet  soft spoken.
