Steel has a lot of very positive properties but thermal is not one of them. Steel is very heat and cold sensitive. What you need to do is NOT weld furring strips to the container. Go for a 1-1/2" light gauge steel track and stud interior wall and, if possible. place some rigid insulation between the stud wall and the exterior steel.
Set the tracks on the floor and ceiling. DO NOT have the light gauge steel touch the container walls unless you want to build a very large radiator (that issue could be less important if direct sun will not hit your container).
Good luck.

Assume the best and ask questions.
