The Box is in Shanghai, having completed the UK-China leg of its global journey. It is not expected to move from the area until early November.
In normal circumstances the location of the Box should be shown on the map, as transmitted from a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit attached to it.
Use the arrow controls top left to move the map left, right, up and down. Use the plus and minus button to zoom in and out. You can also move the map by clicking on it with a mouse.
In normal circumstances the location shown for the Box could be several hours old, depending when our systems received the last transmitted position. Sometimes we may use the position of the ship carrying the container to give its location, if the container has been stowed in a position that means its GPS unit cannot send a signal to satellites.
The green dots show previous locations for the Box, with times given in GMT. The green line connecting them indicates the approximate route.
At times, the Box will not move for periods up to several days, awaiting its next load or transport. For latest information on what's going on, see the home of The Box.
