11.Jun.2010 C2C Ships to Haiti!

by Jay Cox-Chapman, Design Build Assistant

The staff of Containers to Clinics, the organization that engaged Stack to build a clinic out of two 20′ shipping containers, sent us these photos from Red Hook, Brooklyn, of the clinic getting loaded onto a cargo ship bound for Port-au-Prince.

The ISO containers fit in happily alongside their more utilitarian neighbors on the ship, a key part of Stack’s adaptibility-driven design.

The cranes that move containers onto ships are fully controlled by GPS; the operator only controls the speed

The cranes that load the containers are controlled by highly precise GPS; the operator only varies the speed.
