The fabric of a ship, whether of wood a century ago, or steel today has always had considerable value. Ship recycling is an engineering process [1] of dismantling obsolete ship to collect useable materials. One interesting point is that, the shipping industry is well ahead of other industries, such as the automotive and aviation sectors, in re-using some 85-98% of a ship by weight. On the other hand, even if ship recycling has been efficient in providing a ready supply of steel and other metals for re-use, there has been a cost in terms of lives lost and local environmental impact. The demolition of ships is widely associated with dangerous practices and pollution. Cutting apart big steel structures is a complex and hazardous business. And even though a high proportion by weight of the ship’s structure is re-usable, there are significant amounts of plastics, chemical product and other materials that should be handled carefully and appropriately. However, there are few dozen operational ship-recycling yards located along coastal belt at Chittagong of Bangladesh [2] comprehensively. This industry provide main source of steel, create huge employment [3] and generates large amounts of revenues for the government of Bangladesh. It is also contributing to the local shipbuilding industry.
