ISO 668 – Series 1 freight containers – Classification, dimensions and ratings is an ISO international standard which nominally classifies intermodal freight shipping containers, and standardizes their sizes, measurements and weight specifications. [1] The current version of the standard is the Seventh edition (2020), which integrates ...
This is a list of container ships with a capacity larger than 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). Container ships have been built in increasingly larger sizes to take advantage of economies of scale and reduce expense as part of intermodal freight transport. Container ships are also subject to certain limitations in size. Primarily ...
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.
Cargo must also be loaded evenly inside the container, to avoid axle weight violations. [77] The maximum gross weights that U.S. railroads accept or deliver are 52,900 lb (24,000 kg) for 20-foot containers, and 67,200 lb (30,500 kg) for 40-foot containers, [78] in contrast to the global ISO-standard gross weight for 20-footers having been ...
A few ships (APL since 2007, [44] Carrier53 since 2022 [45]) can carry 53 foot containers. 40 foot containers are the primary container size, making up about 90% of all container shipping and since container shipping moves 90% of the world's freight, over 80% of the world's freight moves via 40 foot containers.

Shaft Horsepower (SHP) – The amount of mechanical power delivered by the engine to a propeller shaft. One horsepower is equivalent to 746 Watts. Tonnage – a number derived from any of several methods to calculate the volume or other number indicative of a ship's cargo carrying capacity. Gross tonnage – GT – Not expressible in units of ...
The maximum gross mass for a 20 ft (6.10 m) dry cargo container was initially set at 24,000 kg (53,000 lb), and 30,480 kg (67,200 lb)for a 40 ft (12.19 m) container (including the 9 ft 6 in or 2.90 m high cube) .
