One such example of ISBUs, or shipping containers as they are often
referred, can be seen through the specially built luxury minihotel unit:
2 rooms in one 20 ft container in Denmark for the Festivilla rock music event
that attracts over 50,000 spectators during the 5 days. In order to offer top
accommodation on the festival ground, the hotel unit was developed and designed
to be portable. It contains a double bed, full bathroom, heating and
ventilation and high quality finishes. The entire unit was designed for quick
installation and simple storage and removal.
Such an approach, once again, reveals the practical and
diverse methods shipping containers can be used in providing shelter, even
under mobile, situational scenarios.
ISBUs are among the strongest stationary structures in the world, able
to withstand enormous environmental attacks such as hurricanes, tornados,
typhoons and even earthquakes. Every shipping container is designed to
carry at least 30 tons of cargo and is composed of corten steel making it’s
construction very durable, capable of withstanding the rigors of ocean travel.
Typically, each shipping container is 40 feet in length by 8 feet wide and 9.5
feet.
