Man arrested for smuggling £60k tobacco in secure containers
A man was arrested after HM Revenue & Customs seized tobacco valued at £60,000 at Southampton’s container port.
The British man was apprehended on suspicion of trying to avoid paying exercise duty on the 550kg of fruit-flavoured tobacco.
Customs officers discovered the load hidden in a 20ft secure containers at the port on Wednesday. The man was arrested in London the following day and released on bail.
HM Revenue & Customs spokesman Bob Gaiger said the tobacco had been found hidden in a container purporting to contain soft drinks and household goods.
He said: “The fruit tobacco appears to have been smuggled into the UK on a container ship from Dubai. This type of crime undercuts legitimate retailers and costs the UK economy around £2bn a year.”

Logistic and freight companies to transport container hire via railways
Most freight and logistics providers are keen to reduce their carbon footprint by using railways much more when transporting goods.
DHL, for example, will be using the rail network for consolidated freight containers which have to be transported from the transhipment facility in Bremen to the terminals of the different liner shipping companies in Hamburg and Bremerhaven.
Up to now, most of these containers were taken by road transport to the various sea freight terminals but by opting to keep goods off the road, the logistics company estimates it will be able to save approximately 365 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
The container hire redistribution facility in Bremen is one of Europe’s most important sea freight transhipment centres. It is the base from which around 7,500 consolidated freight containers are transported to the terminals of various shipping companies each year. With rail transport proving its efficiency in a trial phase, it will now be used regularly from the beginning of April 2011 onwards.

40 foot shipping container hire (or 30, 20, 10ft) – then transform them into a generator
New waste-to-energy technology can now be fitted within a shipping container to turn them into power generators.
The ‘MuckBuster’ relies on conventional anaerobic digestion technology to turn food, manure and septic waste into a useful biogas (methane) that is collected and stored in a low-pressure gasbag.
By fitting conventional anaerobic digestion technology and a gas collector into a 40ft shipping container, the £95,000 MuckBuster will become more appealing for use on a commercial scale. Customers are being told that they can recuperate the initial costs in two to five years, depending on the quality of the feedstock.
The MuckBuster has been designed to handle between 0.5 tonnes to 2.5 tonnes of waste – the smallest system requires half a tonne of food a day with the largest supporting up to 2.5 tonnes.
The technology is set to encourage businesses to make money from their waste. It could be used by supermarkets, hospitals, schools, hotels, with apartment blocks even in line to benefit.
You can now hire a container to save money on the disposal of waste and create power.
