Why is the bathroom on a boat called a head ?
+ Try the port facility nearest you. Look for the containers and follow them on the trucks until they get to the ships and you will be able to see them.If you are looking for a web link try Maersk or Mattson depending on which coast of North America you are looking. If you are in Panama look at the canal and follow the ships to the end.

What is the distinction between a boat and a ship?
...To find containers on ships, look for a Container Ship, easily identified by the large number of containers on deck. Shipping containers look like tractor trailers without the wheels and tractors, and are either 20 or 50 feet long. Containers are not only stowed on deck. They are also stowed into fitted cells in the holds below. Finding a specific container involves knowing its number, and finding it on the ships manifest and loading plan. Unless you are part of the ships crew you shouldn't have access to this information.
Barges and boats along Regents canal!?
Open your eyesA three part grid system is used to identify placement of containers on a ship, such as, AABBCC. A is the bay starting at the bow, even numbers for 40 ft containers and odd numbers for 20 ft containers. B is for athwartship location (port is even, stbd is odd, centerline is 0), and C is for the tier. Lowest tier starts at 02. On deck placement starts with 82. So a container in postion 420684 is a 40 ft unit in bay 42 on the port side stack of 06 and two units up on deck. Position 150012 is a 20 ft unit in bay 15 on the centerline belowdeck six stacks up from the tank top.
