DJ Dangerous Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) I sometimes see containers down here, which at a glance look familiar, but on closer inspection tend to be palletwides etc, so I thought I'd start posting photos of what I see...

DJ Dangerous Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 That's 'cause nobody knows where the handbrake is in a Canarian car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOGUL Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 (edited) A close cousin of our IWT containers.. the Canaries has its own unique operators and containers alright, OPDr, Boluda etc.. Ships international had a good article about services to the islands from Seville a few years back, will see if I can find the article.. In my time in shipping, OPDR became part of Macandrews, which then was merged with containerships.. The result is a mixing of fleets, so we occasionally get OPDR units in from mainland Spain, and ship a mixture of containerships, Macandrews and lease boxes out to Tenerife Edited July 20 by MOGUL 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 I saw these two lovely CMA-CGM boxes parked by Decathlon in La Laguna on March 8th this year. Already posted elsewhere on the forum but better off here, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOGUL Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Good Morning, Found the article, apologies about the scan quality, the magazine is about 8 years old now! OPDR had a long and storied history serving the islands, and nice looking containers too! Edited July 29 by MOGUL 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Those Seacell containers are owned by a woman, but you can buy them off her, from her place down on the coast. She sells Seacells by the seashore. Edited July 29 by Broithe 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 Thanks, MOGUL, that's outstanding. Andalucia Express / OPDR Canarias over in Las Palmas at the moment, sailed in the early hours this morning. Have to have another nose around on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I think they pick up water for putting on fires, looks like it took too much water and sank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Interesting stuff. Could be more interesting, if you were snorkelling in the wrong place... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 One or two random anorak photos from last Tuesday, the 26th, around the port in Santa Cruz... ...Including one that shows why that Oxford Diecast Bus Eireann Transit is so necessary! Boluda reefers say Unit 45 on the back for some reason. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted 18 hours ago Author Share Posted 18 hours ago A second 40' MSC High Cube half an hour later, who'd have thunk it? Shame that @Arran's don't have environmentally friendly bamboo flooring inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
