A base section for a collapsible container for transporting a liquid. The base section has a rectangular base with four sides, two opposite end sections and two opposite side sections pivotally connected to each side of the base, a top section pivotally connected to a side section or an end section, and a liner for storing a liquid. The base section includes a base frame with two opposite end bars, two opposite side bars, a number of cross bars connecting the side bars, with the base resting on the cross bars. Along two opposite sides on the base, vertical flanges are made which, in the free state of the base, have a larger mutual spacing at the top edges than the width of the base. The opposite side faces of the side bars have a lower section which, at a given location along the side bars, is extending upwards from the cross bars to a height that mainly corresponds to the height of the base flanges at the same location in the longitudinal direction, and an upper section extending upwards in tandem of the lower section. The mutual spacing between the opposite side faces of the side bars is larger than the width of the base at both the lower and the upper sections whereas the mutual distance between the two lower sections is smaller than the mutual spacing between the upper edges of the flanges in the free state of the base. This allows the base to be less expensive and easier to fasten in the base section.
