Tanker which looks like its built on a modified Isherwood system. From the clothes the men are wearing I would guess at a Turkish breakers yard (rather than Indian or Pakistan) the growth would have accumulated with the vessel laying idle whilst waiting her turn to come up the beach. Very neat dismantling, not sure 'elf n safti' would approve of the gangway, but these guys are so athletic in their own way.
Just clicked on the photo and wish I'd done before putting pen to paper, as was surprised to find that it was Gadani Beach in Pakistan, as I lived in Pakistan for a number of years (way back) and had to visit there on a regular basis and it was never as tidy as that, and not a hard hat in sight. It was a thriving township where one could buy anything nautical, and great for spares for older vessels
