Hi By sea Box do you mean standard shipping container. Have done a few 50/60 using carrier plant and bitzer plant.

Sea containers are badly insulated. Only 75 mm polyurethane.

If you want to use it as a freezer, I recommend you to increase the insulation by an extra cover of 75 plates.

If you are thinking of using the steel ones, then building a proper freezer using insulated panels is cheaper and better.

yes done a few dry containers,lined out with panels,6 inch put slab doors heater strip/door heater,they are a bit tight for evap,heater replacement would mean removing coil ,fit new equipment everytime make sure you user a container in good condition you do not want water ingress.
