The following is a list of further freight container related ISO specifications, where not all have an article assigned yet (you can help improve Wikipedia and start one): ISO 668 - Freight containers - Classification, dimensions and ratings; ISO 830 - Freight containers - Terminology; ISO 1161 - Freight containers - Corner fittings - Specification
While they appear similar to the ISO-standard containers, there are several significant differences: they are considered High-Cubes based on their 9 ft 6 in (2.90 m) ISO-standard height, their 102-inch (2.6 m) width matches the maximum width of road vehicles in the region but is 6 inches (15 cm) wider than ISO-standard containers, [95] and they ...
The twenty-foot equivalent unit (abbreviated TEU or teu) is a general unit of cargo capacity, often used for container ships and container ports.

20 feet container size is: 20 ft (6.1 m) length by 8 ft (2.4 m) width by 8.6 ft (2.6 m) height. 40 feet container size is: 40 ft (12 m) length by 8 ft (2.4 m) width by 8.6 ft (2.6 m) height. Container vessels are built to contain as many containers as possible, accordingly the vessels are divided into sections:
