Good day!

I would like to know about the data concerning the following on Manila North Harbor Port:

1. How many shipping containers are currently being unused for transport?

2. If a project that would use shipping containers as a material, i.e. shipping container architecture, would said port be willing to give away for recycling or sell shipping containers at a reasonable price?

3. What is the average lifespan of a shipping container after being unused?

Thank you
