The invention has a metal structure(ES) that receives side walls (LT), a back wall (PT) and a lower floor (SL) with doors (PR) on the front part and a roof closure (TT), wherein the walls (LT)(PT), the roof (TT), the doors (PR) and the floor (SL) are made of aluminum or polycomponents, and the walls (LT) are formed by hollow square tubes (PM) closed with plugs (TP). The main difference is the creation of air pockets by means of the tubes (PM) that form the walls (LT), similar to the concept of modules, with joined pieces that enable the container to float in the event of shipwreck.
