The invention relates to a freight container suitable for transporting coils of sheet metal and to a method of transporting such coils in a freight container. The freight container (1) includes side walls (3), end walls (4), a base (5) including a floor (6), and a detachable roof (7). The container has a first configuration, in which rearrangable parts (14) of the container define a plurality of holders which project upwardly from the floor of the container (1) and are suitable for receiving coils of sheet metal. The container also has a search configuration in which the rearrangable parts (14) are rearranged and no longer define the plurality of holders projecting upwardly from the floor.
