As you show, this new idea is widespread across the world's navies, and looks to be "the trend" of the near future. I have read several articles on China's containerized weapons and electronics systems (what the West knows of them which it will release publicly, at least, which is very vague.)
While the basics of what gets developed will not be secret...any company making them will happily announce them in trade circles...the Navy is likely to be vague and tight lipped on what they did get, and will certainly not broadcast what's operationally on any USV. One of the points of a containerized system is keeping everyone guessing what's in those containers. As it's all still new, I anticipate having to really dive into any search on container details. More of a project than I am into at this point. Stuff will emerge with time, and I am just as happy to not know what-all exactly we've put in those containers. I expect to be pleasantly surprised when some operation hits the news, and the press reports the Navy had a container that held equipment that made the operation successful.

Thank you for the links!
Do you found any information what kind of equipment will be used on those? Is anything ordered?
For the Marauder, it is stated that it can transport 150 t/four 40 ft containers.
In theory, these could be mines (see e.g. the The Cube by SH Defence, see e.g. here ), mine hunting drones, towed array sonar, NSM (see here ), Tomahawk/SM-6 (Mk 70 launcher)...
