An anonymous container spotter submitted this photo report claiming they spotted this container flying in the air. Although quite believable at first glance, upon closer examination we noticed what appeared to be suspicious wire in the photo. As The Moving Crew examined the photo more carefully we determined that it is indeed faked. This miniature shipping container was suspended from a wire and the photo was taken to make it appear as if it was flying. This is of course impossible for actual shipping containers. We just wanted to alert true container spotters to the various container spotter hoaxes that The Moving Crew has received so that you are not deceived when tracking containers.

I spotted this container 2 years ago just outside of Honolulu. I'd been on vacation with some friends and, while searching for something interesting to photograph, I accidentally came across this interesting, graffiti marred, piece of metal. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get closer because of the proprietary restrictions, but I still managed to capture a glimpse of its, in my opinion, cynical artwork.

I've taken this photo 3 weeks ago in Rijeka. I've been container spotting for a couple of years now. I'm quite a bohemian, actually. All I ever do is travel; just me and my camera. I can't even remember the last time I’ve been at home. Containers are what keeps me going, ya know? I think of them as a sort of... hm... life compass? I dunno how to describe it. I find them ever so puzzling; nobody can tell what's inside of them with just a glimpse. Nobody knows what their secrets are. Nobody knows where they're headed next. That's why I follow them: I just go wherever they take me. No plans, no attachments. It's more fun this way.
Heh... what can I say, I’m just fascinated with mysterious things.

I'm not sure if you can see it from this distance, but in the middle of the photo is an interesting graffiti I’ve spotted last year while travelling through Europe. My girlfriend and I are artists ourselves and we are currently working on a project that focuses on the usage of different surfaces for artwork. Isn't a container prefect for sth. like this or what?!?

I recently started tracking down interesting containers and photographing them wherever I see them. I'm particularly fond of the oilspill logo and I’ve recently started tracking it down. These two photographs are just a glimpse of the whole project. The first was taken in Helsinki, and the second in Naples.

•Carev vrh u koloru
Ovo je kontejner na koji sam naišla šećući se jednom prilikom livadama i pašnjacima Carevog vrha brdašca koji pripada planinskom masivu Ostrogovskih planina u Makedoniji. Iz njegovih pukotina je izlazila polugusta, bezmirisna, plinovita tvar koja se širila i rastezala dolinom. Bila je skoro opipljiva i kada bi dotaknula tlo na tom mjestu bi trava postala zelenija, živahnija cvijeće bi na tom mjestu intenzivnije mirisalo i boja bi mu postala jača, toplija kao da bi mu krv šiknula u obraze i procirkulirala tijelom, na tim mjestima gdje su se dodirivali zeleni pokrivač je kao osupnut nekim slatkim sramom rumenio, bilo je čudesno.

Guns on the streets

Over the last two years, the police have confiscated 9 mm guns, an AK 47 and there has been evidence of at least one M16 says Drug Task Force chief Kurt Walton.
The influx of high powered guns goes hand-in-hand with smugglers using the Cayman Islands as a transit point to ship large quantities of drugs into the US says Walton.
Organized criminals are using guns as part of its payment system to local people for making sure large drugs shipments transit through the Cayman Islands safely and on to the US.

Ova fotka je snimljena tijekom jedne ekspedicije na otoku Hvaru. Prolazilo se baš stazom uz obalu gdje sam odjednom na putu ugledala ovaj smiješni kontejner. Bio mi je zanimljiv, jer onako nasukan na liticu iznad obale mora, s logom strane kompanije na sebi i ''bosanskim grafitom'' izjave ljubavi preko toga, ostavljen u prirodi usred borove šumice, izmamio mi je osmjeh na lice.

Container Recycled

Once a container has completed its useful life of about 12 years, often because it is damaged, several outcomes are possible. The most common is the container to be scrapped and the materials recycled. On some cases, a discarded container can be put to unique uses such as a bus shelter a temporary warehouse or even office space.

I was walking by the port and saw a container that was being loaded on a ship. I was surprised by the brutal honesty of the company's logo National Oil Spilling and Shipping Association of Saudi Arabia. I hope there won't be any spilling...

I spotted this container in front of a suburbean house. It has a sign Safe Shipping, but I see from the surface dents and cracks that the shipping wasn't so safe.

I was passing by the port and spotted a container with a company logo Ocean Lines. I assume they deliver to destinations accross the ocean, but I don't know what is inside the container.

Ta-daaah! This one is mine. I finally have my very own Evergrin container. :) I got it from my friend Jacob who used to keep his fishing equipment here. Now he doesn't need it anymore and, knowing my "container obsession", gave it to me as a birthday present. I still have to figure out how to transport it to my home. In the meantime, I've made some photos of my new "pet". ;)

Caught quite unexpectedly on my trip to Delft, during a walk in the park. I have no idea how it got there and why, but it seems that my good fortune just keeps throwing used Evergrin's containers my way. I became quite a container spotter! ;)

I caught this sight when I went to visit my grandma in Haarlem. Evergrin's containers everywhere! And I have a growing interest in documenting them. I like this one, it has been put in use very cleverly. I'm sorry I couldn't find anyone to tell me who bought it and when, it would have been interesting to know.

My friend Eimert bought one of Evergrin's containers; this photo is taken in his backyard. He says he's going to use it as a depository or something like that. Cool idea, but the inside of the container is horribly stinky. I have no idea how is he going to solve that. ;)

This is the the first photo of Evergrin container I've made, it's a construction site near my home. There were many containers waiting to be used as building elements, almost all of them Evergrin's. That's the first time I've heard that anybody could buy off their used containers cheaply (though those containers are in a pretty bad state). The lady in grey dress told me that, she's the owner. :)

I was walking down the street minding my own business when I spotted this Turtle Worldwide container, which had slipped of the truck. The guys were arguing who didn’t secure the container but I think that the guy in turtle suit had something to do with the accident.

I was meeting my girlfriend in Rijeka near the dock. While I was waiting I spotted this guy in turtle suit who I saw a couple of days before by the container that slipped of the truck in my street. I had a bad feeling about that guy so I took a picture in case something happens.

I took this picture when I landed in Italy. Funny! I always thought that trucks transported containers.

I had to take a photo of this specific container for my school assignment. But when I tried to take a picture the security guard dressed like a turtle jumped in and didn’t let me. This is all I got so I failed the assignment.

People who were there to see them off , told me that they are going to Russia.

This is the picture of one of the Autumn Transport containers. My grandpa spotted it long time ago. He does not remember year, but he remembered that it was on the first day of autumn. Many years passed, but this company still transports autumn. Great!

I made this picture last year on my vacation in France. We were driving from Paris to La Havre and got lost, and after two hours of driving we came to this harbour where I've this container. Of cours, I've made a picture of it. Basically, someon started a game of Tic-Tac-Toe on the container, later one someone in another city continued playing, and so on, and so on. The container became a playground for people all over the world. I was astonished how a piace of metal used for transportin could connect so much different people from one corner of the world to the another. The container is been given life to.

Hello there. I've spoted this one outside of Johanesburg. It is not the shipping company thats making it intresting, but the graffiti. Somone draw a world map on it and markt his position, and later on other people markt their location on it. And now we can see where it's been. I find this a nice way to show people the life of somethig as simple as a container.

Hello dear container spotter community. I've found this China-Shipping Company container in Rijeka, a small harbor town in Croatia. I find this one quite interesting because of the graffiti above it, because we all know what's the China-Shipping Company famous of. Thats all from me for now.
Bye

Got ya! Finaly, I've been looking for this shiping company and their containers all over the country, and then i find them on the railway in my home town. Well, that's how life is.
