The invention relates to a sea container that can be closed on all sides, comprising a base frame, which has four corner posts, a top-side frame, and a bottom-side frame construction, wherein the corner posts are rigidly connected to the top-side frame and to the bottom-side frame construction. The bottom-side frame construction has a bearing frame, wherein installations in the container are fastened to the bearing frame and the bearing frame has tie-down means for tying down and for absorbing forces acting horizontally. Thus the invention makes it possible to accommodate installations such as a deploying device for a trailling antenna in a sea container even though traditional sea containers are unsuitable therefor.
