Here is a quick follow-up on my previous post about BBC’s The Box. The Box made its first stop outside of the UK in Shanghai last week.

Wednesday’s arrival, sitting at the bottom of bay 38 on the Copenhagen Express, is the BBC box.
Its journey has taken it more than 10,000 nautical miles, from Greenock in Scotland, via Southampton, the Suez Canal and Singapore.
Three massive gantry cranes whirr and clank overhead – the box is lifted, and firmly put on to a waiting lorry.
Its cargo of 15,120 bottles of 12-year-old Chivas Scotch heads for a bonded warehouse, and eventually the bars of Shanghai.

The Box:

BBC has purchased a shipping container and equipped it with a GPS tracking unit that continually updates its location for everyone to see on the web.
