26x16x6 inches and 34 quart capacity, this is Container #1. What the hell is the purpose you ask? The idea that started in my head had a single focus but in today’s world where the price of food may soon go thru the friggin roof, thanks to Obama’s Gestapo Regime, it now has become a two-fold purpose. But that’s another story for another time.
The goat is to build up a food supply for six months that when augmented with fresh fish, crabs and oysters I would have to come to port for only fuel, water or to pump out the holding tanks. This is the first of a planned 10 containers of dry goods. I have placed a few can good items in this one, but the rest of the containers will only hold dry goods.
I have no immediate plans for a trip, but my plans do put me headed to Key West by this time next year. So to ease the pain of supplying the boat right at the last moment when money may be tight and probably will be, I want to pack one of these a month.
Each one will vary in contents and strategically planned so that I don’t have to open them all at once. Each one of them will be labeled with the contents and indexed in a master file for ease of locating specific items. At this time next year I estimate the cost to have built this food stock to be appx. $800-1000. These containers are in addition to the canned meat and veggies that I also will be stocking, as they don’t need to be stored dry.
Inside of each container is a can of moisture control and each container is sealed close to airtight.
I would like to be able to sail to the Caribbean Islands and not have to ever tie to the dock if I so choose. Or at least have the ability to do so for six months. That is the ultimate goal.
Just on a side note…so as it doesn’t come as a big surprise to anyone. Everyone should have food stores. The possibility of needing them in the near future is very real.
So don’t say I didn’t tell you so. J
Container shopping for our new/recycled FREITAG Shop in Zurich. The shop is entirely made from used freight containers.
4Z33 1122 Felixstowe to Doncaster Railport , Intermodal Container Freight Train .
Passing through Ely Station , Cambridgeshire! Tuesday afternoon 23rd-October-2028 . With GBRf Class 66 Diesel Locomotive 66762 providing the motive power .
Again I chose the “going away” shot because of the bright low autumnal sunshine .
I tried several shots, but light was not enough and our ship was constantly moving. Ratana Thida on weekly Tokyo - Bangkok route.
The plastic boxes are sitting on the back of florescent shop lights for bottom heat, and when the seeds sprout the lid is lifted and the boxes are moved so the plants are 2" below the lights. Silver Reflective Mulch drapes on the back and sides of the shelf unit to reflect more even light to all the plants. No garden dirt in these boxes. Only fresh and clean seed starting mix. I don't want to have any damping off disease or other issues.

The Vado Gateway’s new Container Terminal received the maiden call of a new weekly EMA (East Mediterranean America) service on 18 September 2021.
The MV Seaspan Chiba is the first of four container ships of approximately 4,500 TEUs used in the service, managed by COSCO Shipping Lines, ONE (Ocean Network Express) and OOCL (Orient Overseas Container Line).
The ship, arrived at Vado Gateway, one of the most technologically advanced container terminals in the Mediterranean, after the calls in Turkey and Piraeus (Greece) and will continue its onward journey towards the ports of ports of New York, Norfolk and Savannah on the American Atlantic coast.
Recorded passing through Pratteln, SBB Cargo Class Ae 6/6 No. 11511 heads towards Basel with a container train. I assumed this to be a working from Niederglatt CT to Basel, Muttenz Yard where the SBB locomotive would be replaced for the onward journey via Weil am Rhein.

Maasvlakte 2 Rotterdam, The Netherlands
With Maasvlakte 2, the ambition of the Port of Rotterdam Authority is to be a global leader in the field of sustainability. To achieve this ambition, the Port of Rotterdam Authority offers every opportunity to innovative technologies that lead to the sustainable and successful development of the new port and industrial area.
The Port Authority has a long tradition in applying advanced technologies and processes, of which there are ample examples in the current port, including the Euromax-terminal and the innovative communication system Portbase. For Maasvlakte 2, we have raised the bar even higher. We want the new port and industrial area to become the most sustainable and innovative port in the world. Not an unrealistic ambition for a port that has literally been recovered from the sea and where sustainability and innovation can be built into each component.
The Port Authority has set strict requirements in terms of sustainability for companies wishing to locate on Maasvlakte 2. The Port Authority makes clear agreements with the companies about air quality, noise and cleaner hinterland transport, but also about the efficient use (or reuse) of energy, each other's waste heat, waste materials and semi-manufactured products. Companies also recognise the need to tackle environmental problems and seek new forms of sustainable management. In addition, they see opportunities to increase their efficiency. As a result, Maasvlakte 2 is a showcase which demonstrates that sustainability and economic growth are perfectly compatible.
The container terminals on Maasvlakte 2 are the most modern and advanced terminals in the world. The terminals are fully electric, from the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to the quay cranes. The terminal of APM Terminals runs entirely on power generated by wind turbines. At Rotterdam World Gateway, buildings are equipped with thermal storage. The connection with the Betuwe Route has also been taken into consideration: the terminals are ready for the new division of the hinterland transport across the most sustainable transport modes. One of these transport modes is inland shipping, which is why the new terminals are the first with a quay specifically designed for inland vessels.
From Rotterdam, most containers are transported to their destination by truck. This puts considerable pressure on the motorways around Rotterdam and elsewhere. Furthermore, emissions from trucks reduce the air quality. The way transportation to the hinterland is divided between the various transport modes is called the modal split. Through a variety of projects, the Port Authority aims to increase the transport of containers by rail and inland shipping. This redirecting of transport from trucks to trains and inland vessels is called the modal shift. Companies that are allowed to locate on Maasvlakte 2 commit themselves to the imposed modal shift.
An 80-hectare site has been reserved on Maasvlakte 2 to accommodate biochemistry companies. Chemicals based on natural raw materials will be produced here in the future. At the bio-based cluster on Maasvlakte 2, companies can optimally benefit from each other's presence. Together with four partners, the Port Authority is realising Plug & Play facilities in the Bio-based Cluster. Thanks to this initiative, companies do not need to invest individually in the supply of energy, energy networks, tank storage and wastewater, process water and drinking water.
