The twenty-foot equivalent unit (abbreviated TEU or teu) is a general unit of cargo capacity, often used for container ships and container ports. [1] It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container, a standard-sized metal box that can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains, and trucks.
The Evergreen B class is a series of 20 container ships built for Evergreen Marine. The ships were built by CSBC Corporation in Taiwan and Imabari Shipbuilding in Japan. The ships have a maximum theoretical capacity of around 2,800 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). [1]
Container ships are a common means of commercial intermodal freight transport and now carry most seagoing non-bulk cargo. Container ship capacity is measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). Typical loads are a mix of 20-foot (1-TEU) and 40-foot (2-TEU) ISO-standard containers, with the latter predominant.
