A cargo container comprising a container body defining an interior cargo space, a flexible and expandable liner secured inside the container body, a bulkhead positioned in the container body and held against the liner, and bracing apparatus to brace the bulkhead in the cargo container. A first embodiment of the bracing apparatus includes a plurality of vertical beams connected to a floor of the container body, horizontally spaced apart and vertically extending upward against the bulkhead; and a multitude of cross beams connected to the vertical beam to held hold those beams upright. A second embodiment of the bracing apparatus includes a plurality of upwardly extending straps and a plurality of laterally extending straps. These upwardly extending straps are connected to and extend between a floor and a ceiling of the container body, and are positioned against the bulkhead; and the laterally extending straps of this bracing apparatus are connected to and extend between left and right sidewalls of the container body, and are also positioned against the bulkhead.
