• the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) has a built-in fill valve (4) that is hermetically sealed once the at least one closed receptacle (3) has been filled;
• and
• the container (1, 2) has at least one built-in access hatch (10) arranged in such a way that the at least one built-in access hatch (10) corresponds with the built-in fill valve (4) of the at least one closed independent receptacle (3), in order to facilitate filling of the at least one closed independent receptacle (3) located within the container (1, 2).
