A second pair of upright posts (28c, 28d) extends upwardly from the rectangular base proximate art opposite end thereof, and a second cross-beam (30b) couples the second pair of upright posts. A longitudinally extending connector beam (34) has a first end (36a) coupled to the first cross-beam, and a second end (36b) coupled to the second cross-beam. The intermodal container further includes a plurality of panels (15, 19, 17, 21), and each panel is made of fiber reinforced plastic (48, 50) and insulation foam (52) mat have been integrally molded together. The panels are coupled to the supporting frame and serve as side walls (14), end wall (18), roof (16), and floor (20) of the container.
