They're designed to be water- and wind-tight to shield cargo from the elements while they traverse rough seas and extreme conditions. They are also highly adaptable, flexible and versatile in their use. In fact they can be transformed into offices, cabins or even homes at only a fraction of the cost you'd spend to build similar structures from scratch.
If you're considering buying containers, it is best to conduct some research to make sure you purchase the correct model.
