Container calculation unit, Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit The abbreviation TEU is the abbreviation of the English Twenty Equivalent Unit. It is a conversion unit for calculating the number of containers based on a 20-foot standard container (6058*2438*2591MM), also known as the international standard container unit. Each TEU is equivalent to a 20-foot cabinet. Using TEU as the calculation unit of container is usually used to express the capacity of a ship to load containers, and it is also an important statistical and conversion unit for container and port throughput. Most of the container transportation in various countries uses two types of containers, 20 feet and 40 feet long. In order to unify the calculation of the number of containers, the 20-foot container is used as one calculation unit (representation method 1*TEU), and the 40-foot container is used as two calculation units (2*TEU) to facilitate the unified calculation of the operating volume of the container. A term used when counting the number of containers: natural boxes, also known as 'physical boxes'. A natural box is a physical box that is not converted, that is, whether it is a 40-foot container, a 30-foot container, a 20-foot container or a 10-foot container, it is counted as one container.
