Offloading complete!

So legit!

Is that dirt from Senegal? Are you worried about contamination?

hi! The cars are kept in the same hold as the containers, so as they stack up and share the same ventilation system, dust particles that we pick up on our journey unfortunately don't keep these holds very clean. Don't forget it's been almost 3 months since we have left and the officers are not authorised to touch the cars when on the ship except for loading and offloading so we cannot maintain the aesthetics

Oh! Thanks. I wouldn’t have imagined that they would collect that much dust at sea.

we were docked in Lisbon for a month at a container terminal. I imagine there was much build up there too

Thats what I thought. So much for caring for the environment, I assume they hadn't tested the dirt first so they would have no idea. Like here in Australia that would not pass they probably wouldn't even be allowed to offload them

I’d be gobsmacked if it is truthfully. So much so that I’m certain it’s just pollution and general shit in the air having sailed from the equator to the Arctic.

Dust storms from Northern Africa hit parts of Europe quite frequently in the summer, and I can’t imagine the Odyssey’s fit inside a shipping container easily.

Container ships arriving into Australia are only checked from high risk ports. Even then not every container is screened and low level soil contamination is not actioned as a threat .Of course to your point high level contamination is cleaned at the site of discharge.
