Container yard trip

Parked and saw, stacked up containers. So this is how it looks like in a container depo.

A few other liner’s brands seen as well

First check, when the containers enters back into the yard, everything has to be washed clean. Some clients return their containers with rubbish still in, assuming the container yard is a dumping ground. Quite a challenge to charge them a penalty fee.

The refrigerated containers were a big hit! Hot weather + bright shiny sun + puteri lilin people. Good way to differentiate reefer containers – most of them if not all are white in color.

Seeing how the cranes lift up containers, big accuracy needed, as the crane hooks up only 2 small hooks on the left and right top.

Going into a container, this one is slightly damaged on the top. Small dent but to clients, it means stuffing a few boxes less = less money to earn.

A flat rack container, the sides are open to load out of gauge cargo.

Good trip! could be even better if the we made if for the vessel tour. Missed it due to no security clearance. :( Next time round maybe.
