Its main business is the operation and management of container terminals, with no direct connection to the manufacturing or sales of container houses.

II. Overview of the Container House Industry Container houses are a new type of building with a relatively short development history but wide applications. There are mainly two production and processing techniques: one is to directly transform shipping containers; the other is to design the structure in a production factory according to the dimensions of containers, make the top and bottom, connect them with high-load-bearing columns to form a frame, and then combine them with color-steel sandwich panels as walls.

III. Typical Application Scenarios and Advantages of Container Houses

• Engineering Construction Field: They can serve as workers' dormitories and project department offices. For example, the products of Shandong Jinda Lvjian Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. were used in a road project on Weichang Road, where 20 container houses were adopted as construction sheds. The construction of the camp was completed within 3 days. The containers were equipped with air-conditioning interfaces and independent bathrooms, significantly improving the living conditions of workers.
• Urban Public Services: They can be used as emergency shelters and mobile police stations. For instance, the Flood Control Headquarters in Changle County purchased 50 sets of the company's movable board houses as emergency supplies, which can establish temporary settlement points within 12 hours after a disaster, with each unit accommodating 6 - 8 people.
• Commercial Field: They can be transformed into characteristic homestays and mobile shops. In Weifang City, there are several characteristic restaurants transformed from containers. After creative design, a single 35㎡ container can attract an average daily customer flow of 150 people.

IV. Market Prospects of Container Houses With the development of modular building technology, container houses are extending from temporary facilities to permanent buildings, with broad market prospects. Their recyclable nature reduces the full life-cycle cost by about 40% compared to traditional temporary buildings and is more environmentally friendly.
