The spread of technology in Africa proceeds apace. Since infrastructure hasn't spread widely, we are in the realm of aggregation and communal arrangements. We believe in cafes. As Burning Spear would have it: "Social Living is the best".
For more than 15 years, Staten Island based artist, Victoria Munro has exhibited her photographic and sculptural works internationally, working between Auckland, New Zealand and the U.S. In the installation called Container Series, Munro focuses intently on color bringing vibrant colors to the Grand Staircase Plaza at Staten Island’s St. George Ferry Terminal.
The aluminum strips, affixed securely to the vertical elevations of the stairs leading up to the Plaza, are meant to mirror the shapes and colors of the shipping containers that pass through the NY waterways. Munro believes color is inextricably linked to structures and materials and her work seeks to highlight this relationship. Container Series broadens this investigation to include an exploration of geometric form and function. The artist goes on to describe that “the context and histories of transporting cargo create shifting meaning in the work, suggesting models of other ways of being, cultural blending, and future possibilities and destinations, which are yet to be discovered.”

Documentation photo of the first Apollo Lunar Sample Return Container (ALSRC-04/ALSRC-2), containing samples collected by Apollo 11 Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, shortly after its arrival/quarantine at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory (LRL), Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC), TX. Note the technician that's holding/displaying it - on the other side of the sealed examination chamber.
“The Apollo Lunar Sample Return Container (ALSRC) was an aluminum box with a triple seal. It was used on Apollo lunar landing missions to preserve a lunar-like vacuum around the samples and protect them from the shock environment of the earth return flight. An aluminum mesh liner helped absorb the shock impacts. Prior to flight, each box was loaded with sample container bags and other sample containment devices. The "rock box" was then closed under vacuum so that it would not contain pressure greater than the lunar ambient pressure. On the moon, while samples were being loaded, the seals were protected by a Teflon film and a cloth cover which were removed just prior to closing the box. Two ALSRC's were used on each mission.”

London Gateway is a development on the north bank of the River Thames in Thurrock, Essex, 30 miles (48 km) east of central London. It comprises a new deep-water port, which is able to handle the biggest container ships in the world, as well as one of Europe’s largest logistics parks, providing access by road and railways to London and the rest of Great Britain.
The project, being undertaken by DP World, significantly increases the capabilities of the Port of London in handling container shipping,[1] to help meet the growing demand for container handling at Britain's ports. Construction began in February 2010,[2] and is expected to take several years, with the port and logistics park being completed in stages. The first phase of the port opened for business on 6 November 2013 with the docking of the 58,000-tonne MOL Caledon, loaded with fruit and wine from South Africa.
he plan for London Gateway is based on simple logistics. In 2011 the ports of Felixstowe and Southampton were the first- and second-largest ports by container traffic in the UK, with the Port of London third.[5] London Gateway is highly automated, and able to stay open in all weathers, unlike Felixstowe and Southampton.[6] Goods for London unloaded at Felixstowe and Southampton must be transported by road using heavy goods vehicles to localised distribution centres, then re-sorted and carried on vans to their final destination within London. Gateway, close to London and with suitable on-site distribution facilities, will lower costs and delivery times by having close, direct road access for goods to be delivered to London destinations by van.[7]
It is estimated that when the port is fully operational it will save 65m HGV-miles and take 2,000 trucks off the road per day, with economic and environmental advantages.
London Gateway is located on the 1,500-acre (6.1 km2) former Shell Haven site, which closed in 1999. Close to Gateway at the Medway Estuary, on the south-east side of the Isle of Grain, is the Hutchison Whampoa-owned Thamesport, a small but well-established container terminal. The Tilbury container port on the north bank, upriver of London Gateway, was previously partially owned by DP World, but was sold shortly before the development initially opened.
DP World received Government approval for the development of London Gateway, identified by Prime Minister Gordon Brown as one of the four economic hubs needed for the regeneration of the Thames Gateway, in May 2006.[8]
In May 2008 the Department for Transport issued a "Harbour Empowerment Order" for London Gateway, which provided official and statutory powers for the new port and established London Gateway as a legally recognised authority.[9]
The future of the project was less certain after Moody's downgraded DP World's financial status to 'junk' in December 2009, following the Financial crisis of 2007–2010 and associated financial problems for DP World's owners Dubai World.[10] In January 2010 DP World announced its intention to seek a share listing on the London Stock Exchange in the second quarter of 2010,[11] and was given the go-ahead for construction of the port.[12]
However, the port faces difficulties. As of 2015 it had not secured a service from Asia, where the biggest ships come from. With a lot of extra capacity in Europe, rates had hit rock bottom, making it very difficult for a new port to take business away from established ones. Also, major shipping companies are increasingly grouped in alliances already committed to existing ports, and rationalising their services as they use ever bigger ships. The port is reported to have processed 300,000 containers in 2014, its first full year of operation, compared with the projected 3.5m when it is complete, reasonably successful for a new facility facing a lot of inertia from users—it is expected to take time to build a critical mass.

Most goods are delivered to locations in Alaska by tug and barge. We live similarly in Maui.
This photo was taken while we were sailing on the Sapphire Princess up the Inside Passage into Alaska.
Notice that there are boats and cars sitting on top of those container stacks. One barge we saw during the cruise had an entire tugboat on top, being transported "dry".
You can see more detail in the larger sizes.
