Container Works

You are in the cab of a ship-to-shore container crane. Below you lies a ship full of containers, behind you trucks and trains are waiting – and the clock is running. Two levers drive the trolley and the hoist, one button locks the twistlocks. Sounds easy? The load hangs on four ropes and it swings: every start, every stop and every gust sets it in motion. Drive too roughly and the container tears off. HOW A SHIFT WORKS • Unload the ship and stack the containers neatly in the yard • Trucks want one specific container – find it before the driver runs out of patience • Trains take any two containers • Precise placement, fast delivery and flawless streaks earn extra points • Deliveries give you bonus time THE WIND PLAYS TOO Shift 1 is almost calm – perfect for learning. After that it freshens: the windsock and the gauge show direction and strength, gusts push the load sideways. In the late shifts it blows at up to force 7. WHAT YOU GET • 8 shifts of 10 minutes with rising challenge • Endless mode: no clock, no goal – it only ends after three lost containers • Real 3D graphics: swipe to pan the camera, pinch to zoom • A laser guide that turns green as soon as you are aligned • Containers from ten shipping lines, feeder ships, articulated trucks and a harbour railway • Motors, horns, wind and metal for your ears, haptics for your hands • Six languages, switchable in the game • Works offline FAIR Container Works is free. Shift 1 and endless mode are yours without restrictions. A single one-time purchase unlocks shifts 2 to 8. No ads, no subscription, no data collection.
