Ningbo, an important coastal city in China, has a deep bond with maritime shipping. Maritime shipping is an essential part of Ningbo's history, function, and status. As an iconic item of the maritime industry, shipping containers are some of the most familiar things to the people of Ningbo.

To promote the city's long-standing port trade culture and create an iconic and memorable themed social space, the Ningbo IFC Central Plaza has utilized a large number of containers as building materials to build a unique "container plaza".

On this plaza, the most attention-grabbing building is a two-story Starbucks coffee shop constructed with green containers. This coffee shop combines containers with large-area floor-to-ceiling glass. It keeps the unique look of the containers while not spoiling the view for the customers inside. The terrace on the second floor offers an open space.

CIMC Equilink provides one-stop services and offers a full range of containers, like 20-foot, 40-foot, 20-foot high cubes, 40-foot high cubes, 53-foot, and so on. This makes the construction process more efficient and gives more options in terms of container selection.

Using containers as the main material not only emphasizes the individuality of the building and boosts its aesthetics but also considers environmental protection and efficiency. Under the influence of the "green city" concept, environmental protection has become a factor that the construction industry has to think about. Containers are environmentally friendly in terms of materials, and they have little impact on the construction site. More importantly, the super short construction period can speed up the return of funds, allowing the investment to pay off more quickly.

With strong resource support from the CIMC Group, it focuses on providing container spare parts, new and used containers, vehicles, vehicle parts, and other logistic tools.
