When we took the ferry from SF to Oakland a couple weeks ago, we went past these enormous container ships. A back of the envelope calculation suggests that this particular one had something like 1200 containers on it, though I have no idea what the real number was.
I felt remarkably inadequate on our little ferry.
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.”

Valor is a Spanish Chocolate company that has its origins 1881. This site is their main production facility in Villajoyosa, near Alicante, Spain.
On the same site they offer Museum / Factory tour... the walk from the entrance gate to the Museum building involves passing the factory goods in - we are escorted by the tour leader.
Here we are walking past a truck that has just completed discharging its load of Sugar (note the outlet marked 'Azucar' on the wall).
Earlier, in a moment of brief moment of chaos, we had to walk very close the discharging container (at the time it was at 45 degrees lifted by the tilting trailer) while another articulated truck was reversing out of a bay. This isn't a artificial experience like Cadbury World in Birmingham!
There are no more photos of this tour as there was a strict No Photography rule when entering the production facility. I really had to resist I can tell you...
This container, seen in Dublin traffic, is the kind that sits on the trailer of an articulated lorry, or a railway carraige.

Wascosa heeft sinds kort ook containerwagens naast de alom bekende ketelwagens. Deze worden meestal in treinen gemengd met Hupac wagens ingezet, wat op een samenwerkingsverband kan wijzen. De wagens zijn (nog) mooi oranje en ingeschreven in Zwitserland. Dit exemplaar werd gefotografeerd op . De foto is geplaatst met toestemming van de originele fotograaf.

Overcrowded jails and prisons are a growing issue in the US and also globally. This demand can now be filled instantly with modular jail and prison cells made from recycled ISBU shipping containers.
One of the companies leading this technology is DRC Logistics in Mobile, Alabama. We were first made aware of this company when their DRC Group corporate office contacted the ISBU Association in April of 2009 for data regarding ISBU specifications, diagrams and governmental approval information.
By June of this year the DRC Group had created a new division named “Jails On Demand” which produces modular jail cells and prison facilities constructed from secure recycled shipping containers. Their modular ISBU jail cells and prison facilities are manufactured in full compliance with the American Correctional Association (ACA) standards and are ready for immediate delivery and installation.
The DRC Group has a very credible 30 year history and experience with much expertise in various construction and manufacturing technologies to assist them as they market the “instant jail” concept. Correctional facilities using ISBU container technology is not new, however DRC has the experience and financial resources to become a global leader of this trend.
The Top Shelf “Party box” is our latest collaboration with Brian Efird, President of Top Shelf Company. The party box was manufactured at the Trailers of the East Coast service department from a decommissioned ocean shipping container. Reusing a decommissioned shipping container and recycling much of the original steel makes this “green” project an environmentally friendly alternative to new construction.
Aaron Craver and the Trailers of the East Coast service team began the transformation from shipping container to Top Shelf entertainment space with a complete tear-down. Working from the exposed frame, the team continued the process with installation of custom electrical, lighting, mechanical, sound and entertainment system infrastructure.
With the support and infrastructure systems in place, the interior and exterior build-out was completed by installing custom finishes on the ceilings, floors and walls, interior and exterior lighting, satellite, sound and entertainment systems. Finally, the team built and installed a custom stairway, flooring and rail systems for a new roof-top patio space which provides fans and guests with a great place to watch the game or event.
