Cargo container for the transportation of goods, in particular an air freight container (1) being adapted for use on air crafts, including frame structure with a top, bottom and sides with one or more openings for loading and unloading. Each opening is provided with a closing and load supporting closure in the form of an articulated door, or a fabric material (2) preferably with cables (3) or reinforcing members, the closure in turn, at its outer (lower) end being provided with a device for tensioning and locking the closure, including an elongate member (4). The tensioning and locking device includes a drive mechanism (9) for linear movement of at least two tensioning and locking studs (13) provided at each end of the elongate member (4), each stud (4) having an inclined party (15) and fitting into counter tensioning and locking elements (18, 20) provided on the corner post (12) of the container opening. The drive mechanism is operated by a handle (17) whereby the studs (13) are moved in the axial, outward direction of the elongate member (4) such that by interaction of the inclined parties (15) of the studs against the counter tensioning and locking elements (18, 20) the elongate member (4) is moved downwards and the closure is pulled tout and locked.
