Napier Port NZ

During December I went on a cruise to NZ and stopped at some pretty cool ports.  One of the stops was Napier in the North Island.  The view from the balcony was pretty cool, with lots of port action including loading and unloading the Louise Monrovia which is a former Hanjin container ship.

 

The Louise Monrovia being serviced by large Terex dockside mobile cranes.

On the what was a three-pack of Titan Artic Store reefers (TITU) which get placed together to make a cool room that is three containers wide.  On this side are all tarped openings and on the other side were two solid walls to make up the external walls of the cool room.  

A Tex Seatrade marked 45R1 reefer.

Reefer stacks on power.  The walkways and platforms allow staff to connect power to the reefers.

A stack of Maersk 22R1 reefers.  NZ operate a lot of reefers for both imports and exports.

A stack of Cosco Shipping 45G1 containers.  

Empty container fork FL87, an Omega 7ECH high mast.

Fork FL76, and Omega 54E DCH

Sister fork FL73, and Omega 54E DCH

FL73 again.

FL17, a Konecranes Liftace FDC 480 G4 delivered in 2017.

Sister fork FL16, the same specs as FL17.

FL16 again

FL11 is the same as FL16 and FL17, but marked as Terex brand which was subsequently taken over by Konecranes in 2017.  FL12 is the same as FL11.  

A busy little junction with FL16, FL17, FL73 and FL76 all in frame, shuffling containers around the port.

Enjoy!

New Sadleirs 48ft Boxes

These Seaco supplied boxes to Sadleirs have been in traffic for a few months now, but seem to have been mainly on east west services.  The other day I managed to capture SLGC 480027-0 on a Melbourne to Brisbane service. 

A very tidy looking box, and very similar in colour to the new TGE 40ft containers which makes these hard to pick in a crowd.

The last delivery of Sadleirs 48ft containers were from Intermodal Solutions and coded RCS but carried the Kookaburra logo for IS.  These were built around the late 2000s, so about 15 years ago.  

Enjoy!

Marking Oops

A bit of a stuff up on this one.  

Rather than TCNU coding, they have replicated 45G1 twice on this Triton lease container.  

Look closely for the error.

Enjoy!
