For the first 20+ seconds you can see exhaust smoke coming out of the smokestack,so it appears the ship is coming in under its own power at first. The winch is probably pulling in on an underwater marine railway that the ship has maneuvered onto to be lifted out of the water. As the ship gets closer you can see more of the bow as it rises higher on the inclined rail system.

Nice, so that's how to dry-dock without a drydock?

That was one cool vid. Hollywood pay millions to set something like that up. They got that shot for nothing.

This is a ships breakers yard and by the nationality of the flag its located in Mauritius, an Island in the Indian ocean off the coast of Africa. Its a typical maneuver to run the ship up on the slipway for cutting up. I see that other posters got it right. In India many breakers are located on the beaches and they have become an eye sore plus a lot of pollution due to oil and asbestos.
