There are about 30 million shipping containers and 6,000 container ships around the world, but what about their safety and security. The programme reveals that UCC Cork and a Kerry company are devising a ‘smart’ container which can be tracked around the world. The programme also captures a special moment for an RNLI Coxswain as he describes how he followed his father and we discover the stories behind the sinking of HMS Wasp off Tory Island, County Donegal.
