A container scanning system comprises a rail, a camera/sensor unit and a control unit. The rail is mounted on a support or beam of a container handling crane. The camera/sensor unit is movably mounted along the rail. The camera/sensor unit comprises a camera and/or a sensor for scanning the exterior surface of a container. The control unit is operationally coupled to the camera/sensor unit. The control unit is able to obtain position information indicative for the operational position of the container handling crane, and the control unit is adapted to control movement of the camera/sensor unit along the rail in function of the position information. The rail contains space for wiring for power feeding the camera/sensor unit.
