7 Unique Shipping Container Modifications You Never Heard Of
Shipping Containers are usually seen being converted into homes, offices, toilets, cafes, restaurants, and more. Some of these unique container modifications are even constructed solely for publicity and marketing purposes.
However, there are a lot more possible applications of reusing shipping containers, many of which you probably never even heard or dreamed of.
Below are 6 examples of these unique shipping container modifications:
1) Shipping Container Prison Cells at Dhurringile Prison
In 2014, Corrections Victoria bought 50 shipping containers to create 100 temporary minimum-security prison cells for lowest security prisoners. This was done to tackle the prison crisis faced by government, in which more than hundreds of prisoners are being held in police cells for extended periods due to the lack of prison cells available across the city.

4) Modular Data Centers
A modular data center system is a portable method of deploying data center capacity. A modular data center can be placed anywhere data capacity is needed.
As compared to traditional data centers (where you have to build the facility from the ground up), modular data centers can be deployed and implemented quickly. Hence, it can also be placed anywhere data capacity is needed. Modular data centers will become more common as more enterprises look for cost-effective storage and data management solutions.

5) Crypto-Currency Mining Container
Pre-manufactured crypto mining facilities are included in a container to solve unique heat and power issues in housing crypto mining operations. Containers are an excellent choice for crypto mining facilities because of its durability, where it helps to withstand harsh weather conditions. Shipping containers also helps to ensure fast deployment and relocation due to its relative portability. Last but not least, it allows quick and specific structural customisation and modification.

6) International Sustainable Development Studies Institute
The International Sustainable Development Studies Institute (ISDSI) located in Chiang Mai, Thailand is made with 17 Shipping Containers that were carefully selected & imported from ports of Bangkok, Thailand. Due to the nature of the institution, ISDSI sought to avoid any harms to the trees on the property where the school resides. Hence, the overall structure was designed to create a space that had a natural connection with the environment.

7) Caution Cinema Container
Called the Caution Cinema, a shipping container is transformed into a pop-up cinema where port workers can be taught vital health and safety information. 1000 foam pyramids is used to construct the mobile screening room, in order to create a “startlingly alien” vibe. It is done so to ensure that Britain’s port workers remain engaged when learning behaviour practices that could one day save their lives.
