By special request, I stumbled up the little hill behind the reefer and climbed onto a little wall thing, just for you... CMA CGM reefer parked off the TF1 at the Chio roundabout, and a Transatlantica box in Chio that looks like it's been repurposed to house a generator or something. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Another wonderful assortment of containers outside Decathlon in La Laguna just now. Five in total, an OPDR and a Containerships, ahem, @Arran, and a Cronos and two CAI's. This overflow carpark is a goldmine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContainerShips and MSC kind of stand out because of the colours. Both are very striking. MSC seem to keep their containers in very good condition, too, compared to most of the others. A lot of the 20' boxes here are HC, not 8'6", so the MSC's stand out because of that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of shiny new cars on the roads here but lots of cars that you wouldn't have seen in Ireland the past twenty years. Video and a few stills of him trundling past, with Boluda and Tex cameos on the TF1 behind, at the end - colour is a bit off as the original video was almost all just shadows so I had to lighten it up like crazy and drop the contrast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 A few random boxes just before the turn-off for Ifonche, at the bottom of La Escalona just now. There are some sort of apparently abandoned construction projects on both sides of the road, so I'm assuming that these boxes have been bought / borrowed / rented / stolen for something to do with the projects. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 Just now, off the TF-1 at the Chio roundabout, a Seatrade reefer. Don't remember ever seeing one of these before. Only 8'6" tall, so looks tiny compared to the usual Boluda and OPDR 20' dry boxes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 Container-spotting at Los Santos port... Infinity miles away from Las Canarias and not many will recognise the containers, aside from @Sean, @Branchline121, and one or two others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Two more boxes, TGHU-4377469 and NOWU-8349600, look like they're being used for longterm storage, in Guia de Isora. So, after a quick internet search, TGHU is TEX and NOWU is Norwood Shipping in Valencia!

Nah, too small for that, you’d have it cleared out in a week and be looking for more! We only use the20ft reefers to send stuff to New Caledonia(pop 270000) these days.. It’s even more out there islandy than your island @DJ Dangerous! Edited July 30, 2023 by MOGUL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 A Nice Cronos 6,1m x 2,9m / 20' HC (CRTU-0700874) near IKEA in San Miguel back on Tuesday 22nd. Container hotspot there, almost always something interesting. Have a few more since then to add as well. Trailer looks to have an extra metre or so to spare, wierd length for a trailer, no? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Sorry, @MOGUL, I know that you're suffering from withdrawal the past few days. A few photos from August 4th at IKEA La Laguna... Yes, I'm behind, but these past few months have gone by in a blur. Not sure if I've even taken any more container pictures, for shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 21st of August up around Chio, what looks like a grounded "Linea Messina" box. Never heard of Linea Messina before. Looks like NOWU-0128898 is the registration number. NOWU is Norwood Shipping in Valencia, who we last came across on July 18th, on another grounded box. Norwood look to have been absorbed by, taken over by, or morphed into, Tymsa, also Valencia based. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
