The invention relates to a shipping container (13) having a wall (14) comprising an external wall element (21). The wall (14) comprises a laminated building element (1). The laminated building element comprises an outer layer of wood (2), an intermediate metallic layer (3) being an aluminium or aluminiumalloy sheet, and an inner layer of ceramic (4). The laminated building element (1) is arranged inside the external wall element with the outer wood layer (2) facing the external wall element (21), and the laminated building element (1) is arranged at a distance from an inside surface (23) of the external wall element such that a gap (25) between the external wall element and the laminated building element is created.
A pallet converter (1) with four sidewalls (2), opposite each other in pairs, a lid (3) and a locking device (4), to be placed (A) on top of a pallet (6) has two opposite sidewalls (2a, 2b) that are interconnected by means of a connector (5) which, when the converter is placed on the pallet (6), engages the pallet (6) from below, thereby avoiding theft.
