Yet another Matchbox Volvo container truck, this time in Crookes Healthcare livery. This one dates from around the mid 1980's. Mint and boxed.
A truck pulls out onto Victoria Road at Outer Harbour, after collecting its load from the container terminal.

Lovely new soft foot containers for my poor old feet :)
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.”

A container ship travels along the Kill Van Kull channel between Staten Island, N.Y. and Bayonne, N.J. To accommodate the safe passage of larger ships the Kill Van Kull channel is being deepened by the U.S. Army Corps through dredging.
Since the final third of the 20th century, the Kill Van Kull has provided the principal access for ocean-going container ships to Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal, N.J. the busiest port facility in the eastern United States, and Howland Hook Marine Terminal, Staten Island, N.Y.

I really enjoyed this short cruise of the Port of Los Angeles from Sprit Cruises. This departed from the Ports O'Call Village on Nagoya Way
in San Pedro, California. I saw a bunch of boats and the lighthouse at the end of the breakwater. I definitely recommend this to people who
want to see this amazing working port up close. These are the shots of the container ship Xin Ou Zhou.

7515 Container werden mit den Double Rail Mounted Gantry – DRMG zu den LKW transportiert. MEHR BILDER VOM HHLA CONTAINER TERMINAL ALTENWERDER: www.bildarchiv-hamburg.de/altenwerder/
Das HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder ist mit seinem hohen Automatisierungsgrad wegweisend für den Containerumschlag der Zukunft. Eine hochmoderne Technik und innovative EDV-Systeme gewährleisten das effiziente Löschen und Laden insbesondere von großen Containerschiffen. Der Containerumschlag ist in zwei Phasen aufgeteilt: An der Wasserseite löschen und laden die besonderen, mit zwei Katzen ausgestatten Containerbrücken die Stahlkisten vom bzw. auf das Schiff. Der Container wird auf einem höher gelegenen Arbeitsportal abgesetzt, wo Lascher die Twistlocks entfernen bzw. anbringen. Außerdem wird dort noch einmal die Kennung der Boxen überprüft. Anschließend übernimmt die zweite, so genannte Portalkatze den Container automatisch und setzt ihn auf ein Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). 74 dieser Fahrzeuge sorgen für den Transport zwischen den Brücken und dem Containerlager. Die AGV suchen sich den schnellsten Weg anhand von mehr als 10.000 Transpondern, die in den Boden eingelassen sind.
Das Containerlager besteht aus 26 Lagerblöcken, die von jeweils zwei RMG bearbeitet werden. Diese Lagerkräne sind unterschiedlich hoch und können daher parallel zueinander arbeiten.
