A cargo container wherein at least two walls adjacent to each other are constituted using an integrally formed FRP panel, and a cargo container having a sandwich panel including a core and FRP skins as a main rigidity-maintaining member and wherein at least two walls adjacent to each other are formed integrally. The cargo container according to the present invention is light and has sufficient strength and rigidity as compared with a conventional aluminum-alloy container, and can reduce time and cost required for fabrication and production thereof. Further, the cargo container constituted using the sandwich panel including the core and the FRP skins has excellent freezing, refrigerating, cold insulating and heat insulating performances.
