Every MACONA shipment moves through five stages. Trackers ping while on land (Apple AirTags require nearby iPhones); during ocean crossings, the ship makes port stops in Spain, Morocco, the Canary Islands, and Senegal where pings often surface unexpectedly.
Every event is timestamped and photographed. As trackers ping new locations, new events will appear here. Tip: click any photo to view it full size.
Clothing, hygiene products, and over-the-counter medicine sorted across 5 shipping bags. 4 of the 5 bags carry Apple AirTags so we can see where they are at every land stop. The fifth bag is co-located and bundled with the others.
Two hours each way from Maryland to Philadelphia to deliver the bags into the container destined for Mali. Trackers pinging strong inside the warehouse before the container is sealed. Read the original handoff post →
Last confirmed pings before the container is sealed for ocean transit. 4 trackers all reading; bag inventory checked against the manifest.
The most interesting pings are the surprise ones — the ship lands at a port we did not expect, the tracker lights up in Casablanca or Las Palmas, and we know the container is alive and moving. Subscribe to know when it happens. Ask a question. Tell us what you would want to see.
