BBC updates story of "The Box" in Brazil

The BBC Box was picked up in Santos, Brazil on Feb. 7th., although the NYK web-site didn't show this until today (it's obvious this information is being kept closely guarded).

NYKU8210506 Container Size/Type 40'/DRY

Status As Of Event Location Mode
FEB-07-2009 07:30 Picked up for delivery at destination Santos, BRA Truck

Moves to Date Event Location Mode
FEB-07-2009 07:00 Discharged from vessel at last port of discharge Santos, BRA IWATO/017


Originally the BBC stated the cargo was Household Goods, but from their article it appears to be a mix-container, most likely consolidated by an NVOCC (or OTI), or a freight forwarder, it get's complicated. The acronym OTI stands for Ocean Freight Intermediary and was coined by the FMC a few years ago.

The OTI list includes those OTIs that have complied with Commission regulatory requirements, as follows:

* Ocean Freight Forwarder OTIs that have obtained a license and submitted the necessary proof of financial responsibility
* NVOCC OTIs that have obtained a license, submitted the necessary proof of financial responsibility and reported the publication of a tariff by filing a current Form FMC-1
* Non-US-based NVOCC OTIs that have submitted the necessary proof of financial responsibility and reported the publication of a tariff by filing a current Form FMC-1



Maybe in a couple of days they will update the story and confirm the destination of these goods.
