<p>A thermally insulated container (1) for transporting temperature sensitive goods. The container (1) has a modular construction that includes a plurality of thermally insulated container sections (3), and means for fixing the container sections together (35) to provide at least part of the thermally insulated container structure. A modular system for constructing thermally insulated transportation containers (1) for transporting temperature sensitive goods is also provided. The modular system enables a variety of different sized thermally insulated containers (1) to be constructed, wherein each thermally insulated container (1) constructed is sized and shaped for loading onto an aircraft Unit Load Device, such as a pallet, said modular system including thermally insulated wall elements (5, 7, 9) that are configurable into a plurality of container sections (3), and means for fixing the container sections together (35) to form at least part of a thermally insulated container structure. A method for constructing a modular thermally insulated transportation container (1) is also disclosed.</p> |
