If they built special docking yards that could be equipped with heavy cranes and machinery they'd be able to speed up dismantling those ships for scrap by 2 or 3x I would think. But I guess there isn't that much money in producing scrap or else they would've done something like that by now.
Most of the world's ship-breaking activities take place in just a handful of ship-breaking yards that are located in places (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Turkey) where manual labor is cheaper than equipment. Safety standards are typically weak and/or poorly enforced compared to most developed countries, and instead of paying out when a worker gets crushed by falling steel or sickened by chemical exposure, the general response from an employer tends to be more along the lines of "huh, sucks to be you..." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_breaking
