A container scanning system comprises a rail (201, 202; 301, 302, 303; 401; 510), a camera/sensor unit (211, 221; 311, 321, 331; 411; 500) and a control unit (520). The rail (201, 202; 301, 302, 303; 401; 510) is mounted on a support or beam (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106) of a container handling crane. The camera/sensor unit (211, 221; 311, 321, 331; 411; 500) is movably mounted along the rail (201, 202; 301, 302, 303; 401; 510). The camera/sensor unit (211, 221; 311, 321, 331; 411; 500) comprises a camera (501) and/or a sensor (507) for scanning the exterior surface of a container. The control unit (520) is operationally coupled to the camera/sensor unit (211, 221; 311, 321, 331; 411; 500). The control unit (520) is able to obtain position information indicative for the operational position of the container handling crane, and the control unit (520) is adapted to control movement of the camera/sensor unit (211, 221; 311, 321, 331; 411; 500) along the rail (201, 202; 301, 302, 303; 401; 510) in function of the position information. |
