The conveyor includes a conveyor screw (21) with an infeed opening (22) which is accessible from the surroundings of the container. The conveyor screw is provided with a discharge opening (23) which is in communication with the storage space (13) of the container. The present invention includes a method of filling the container (10) with cargo in that the cargo is supplied to the conveyor (20) via its infeed opening (22) and displaced by the conveyor screw to the storage space (13) of the container by discharging the cargo in a region adjacent the upper bounding definition of the storage space. |
