The BBC Box bound for Brazil

BBC advised The Box is loaded and going to Brazil. They aren't giving out much information. I don't know if it's because they don't have the staff to cover this story, or if everyone is trying to keep the info under wraps.

PROJECT UPDATE
The Box will be leaving New York next week bound for Santos in Brazil. The journey should take about 3 weeks. It will be carrying a cargo of household goods

Even the NYK tracking site only shows a location as NYC. It really should show the terminal location, so probably this data was forced into the system.

Container NYKU8210506 Container Size/Type 40'/DRY


Status As Of Event Location Mode
JAN-09-2009 11:28 Arrived at first port of load New York, NY, USA


It's interesting that the goods in this container are Household Goods. Probably some Brazilians moving back due to the downturn in the U.S. economy. I don't really know how the Brazilian economy is doing, but you can live pretty cheap in Brazil if you choose. Retire to a small seaside town. Not a bad life.
