ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a working method of breaking up a ship, particularly a large ship, and is characterized by cutting the hull to shorten the length thereof as it is floating on the sea, and more particularly characterized by, on the cutting of the hull, inserting a buoyancy body under the stem portion or the stern portion to trim the hull and floating up said portion and locating there a marine workshop, drawing the hull into the marine workshop while performing breaking up the hull. According to the present invention, it is possible to break up a hull without special harbor facilities and even at locations such as the lee of island and other position where there is no harbor facilities. Also, since the hull is drawn in the marine workshop and broken up to shorten the length of the hull, the working is greatly simplified compared with a prior method wherein the hull is broken up to shorten the height thereof, and as a result the working period can be shortened.
