Alongside Brisbane Port 250107 COSCO ISTANBUL (IMO: 9484340) is a Container Ship that was built in 2012 (13 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of Hong Kong. Her carrying capacity is 4,250 TEU and her current draught is reported to be 11.4 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 261.1 meters and her width is 32.25 meters.
I never realized the complete massiveness of this kind of vessel until I was in a relatively small boat, in the water, near one.
Each one of those rectangular containers is the size of a semi truck.
Explored - peaked at #179
This container is particularly useful as it provides a home for spare tyres as well as smaller sundry items.

Container ship CMA CGM Jamaica on its way down Gravesend Reach on the River Thames: heading to Dunkerque, France, from Tilbury Docks, which it has just left.
It was built in 2006 by Hyundai in South Korea. CMA CGM is a French company, founded in 1978 - its name is abbreviations of 2 'predecessor' companies, Compagnie Maritime d'Affrètement and Compagnie Générale Maritime and may be glamourous in some circles.
Bigger ships than this dock at the London Gateway terminal, downriver: CMA CGM Jamaica must be close to the size/weight limit for Tilbury (?). Like the other 'big' ships seen on this part of the river it's surprisingly quiet, even stately...

While I am busy redesign my boom lift I have decided to do some container which is great additional for my diorama hangar scene after I saw an idea from Devid Seven's recent post. A General purpose container with a locker and hand grill design. This is a prototype design and might change in near future. Just a simple fun doing it.

Macro Mondays: Container
The hinged section of a plastic Flents earplug container, back-lit in window light. The area shown is under 2 inches.
It needed a little something, so I put a drop of glycerin on the back part of the container. That's the bokeh glint.
100mm + 25mm extension tube.
HMM everyone!
note...for some reason, Flicker is not letting me add "Macro Mondays" as a tag. It only works as "MacroMondays". :(
Opened in 1971, the Seaforth Dock site in the Port of Liverpool occupies about 500 acres, of which 85 acres is water. The dock was the largest built in the United Kingdom for some time, with 10,000 ft (3,000 m) of quay and a depth of 50 ft. A large part of the dock is dedicated to container traffic and these are four of the eight cranes used for containers.

Here is the CS-710 in a starport loading some containers. It will carry these containers to a large interplanetary freighter waiting in a geostationary orbit

Another long-term target was ticked off the to-do list this morning.
I've been waiting many a year to do this shot, I first sussed it out in 2010.
It needs the sun out and, more importantly, a northbound train up the Cumbrian coast before 11.00hrs.
A rest day for me was the other vital ingredient and it all came together this morning with a day off, a half-decent forecast and a diverted 6K73 Sellafield - Crewe.
The location is about half a mile north of Whitehaven Bransty station, just past the site of the former William Pit.
The lineside wall means that you need a bit of height to get the shot and this required a climb up into the ruins of some old structures and once more the lightweight telescopic ladder earned some corn.
Fortunately T.O.P.S showed only four locos at Sellafield and with a 6C46 also in the system for early afternoon I could compose for a two loco shot with a certain degree of confidence.
Occasionally there are one or two unladen PFAs behind the ISO on this working but they wouldn't've impeded the composition to any great effect had they been added.
As I've said before the train runs to this VAR path because the full-height ISO container is out of gauge on parts of the southern route from Sellafield.
Nos.37611 & 37606 work the train, Whitehaven harbour and Kells, with St. Bees head beyond, form the backdrop.
The two "Chimneys" behind the train were in fact piers for a bridge which carried Lonsdale Ironworks' spoil waggonway over the line.
I built the Mercedes Actros, in the livery of Dutch heavy haulage and crane company "Mammoet" to carry a wheel loader on its stepframe trailer, but I've seen plenty of pictures of similar vehicles carrying 20ft containers. The trucks are used to haul equipment to building sites, with smaller stuff stored in containers. My DAF XF105 carries a 40ft refrigerated container in this picture.
The primary reason for building the red container wasn't to put it on the stepframe, but to use to show off that the DAF's trailer can be shortened for carrying a single 20 ft container instead of the normal 40 ft example.
