The invention relates to a transport container for transporting temperature-sensitive goods, comprising a chamber (9) for accommodating the goods to be transported, a casing enclosing the chamber (9)and at least one cooling element for controlling the temperature of the chamber (9). The cooling element comprises an evaporation element (3, 19, 31) having a cooling surface (4), and a desiccant (5,21, 32) for receiving the coolant evaporated in the evaporation element (3, 19, 32). The transport container further comprises a latent heat store (2, 20, 30) which is in heat exchange with the chamber.
