Looking a bit lonely these days. Taken on the Houston Ship Channel during the economic crisis of 2009.
Maasvlakte 2 is a major civil engineering project in the Netherlands, constructing a new port and supporting infrastructure on reclaimed land adjoining the Maasvlakte. Approximately 2000 hectares will be reclaimed, behind a 4 km dike; approximately 1000 hectares will be used by ports related industries. It is an extension of the Port of Rotterdam.
Maasvlakte 2 is the biggest civil engineering project in the Netherlands since the Delta Works. The area opened on 22 May 2013.
Container terminal operators APM Terminals and Rotterdam World Gateway began construction of their terminals in 2012. The APM terminal opened in April 2015. Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) is the main competitor for European Container Terminals (ECT), currently the biggest operator of a container terminal in Rotterdam. RWG's terminal includes a 20-meter deep dock and its own railroad station, and would be capable of handling 2.35 million containers annually.

Nate made this awesome container port for the PennLUG layout, and I made the water (with tile-laying help from various PennLUG members).
Houses made from cargo containers, right down the street from my house! These are so cool. And they say that the power bill shouldn't get over $40/month. I believe these are the ones made from four 8-by-32 foot shipping containers ("one-trippers" emptied of cargo at American docks) that will be assembled into a nearly 1,300-square-foot home.

Carry the carrier.
Testing out the M50mii, good for stills maybe not so fast on the shutter for candid family shots. It seemed to miss a lot (shutter lag maybe) at a recent family gathering. I like the ef 24mm better than the 22m ef-m prime, just sayin!
Container Ship
Unlike the other ships in this set, this vessel was underway and headed to the berth in Centerm
The Gurdergen are a race primarily concerned with trade and commerce. This container transport is one of their most craft and can be seen in friendly ports throughout the galaxy.
Its most recognisable feature is the four underslung cargo attachments which augment the internal cargo capacity. Various types of containers can be attached here via magnetic means; hazardous materials in particular are favourite candidates for external carrying as they can be easily jettisoned in case of contamination.
The ship is unarmed and slow; it requires escort to keep it safe. The high volume of cargo capacity makes it an attractive target to pirates and other economic raiders.
Almost 5 years ago, my daughter and my granddaughter went to Normandy and the bought me this tin of hard candy. Now it is used to hold my cough drops.
Containerisation is a system of intermodal freight transport using intermodal containers. The containers have standardised dimensions. They can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another without being opened. The handling system is completely mechanised so that all handling is done with cranes and special forklift trucks. All containers are numbered and tracked using computerised systems.
