SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – September 7, 2023 – Singapore-based shipping container supplier OSG Containers has successfully transformed shipping containers into self-powered bus shelters, each equipped with a toilet.
This first-of-its-kind container solution allows port operators working in remote areas to access toilets and wait for buses to collect them at the end of the day. The roof of the container is modified with embedded solar panel systems in case the container needs to be moved by a gantry to free up space for handling activities.
OSG Containers has since delivered four such containers to date. These containers collectively produced 1,285.20 kWh of clean energy and efficiently managed 2,270.70 m3 of wastewater in 2 years. This initiative has a positive impact on approximately 18,360 workers.
Adam Aw, Sales Director at OSG Containers and Modular, explained: “The dock amenity containers ensure that port workers, who frequently experience shift changes, can enjoy the convenience of a comfortable shelter while waiting transportation, whatever the weather conditions.
The containers have been agile to meet the needs of the wharf in the fastest possible manner by eliminating the need for a permanent structure and without interrupting port activities. Its manufacturing took place in the OSG factory, otherwise it would have been tricky if the construction had taken place in such a restricted space.
