Container calculation unit, abbreviation: TEU, is the abbreviation of English Twenty Equivalent Unit, also known as 20 foot conversion unit, is a conversion unit for calculating the number of container boxes. Also called international standard unit. It is usually used to indicate the ability of a ship to load containers, and is also an important statistical and conversion unit for containers, ports, and throughput.
Most container transports in various countries use two containers of 20 feet and 40 feet in length. In order to unify the calculation of the number of container boxes, a 20-foot container is used as a calculation unit, and a 40-foot container is used as two calculation units, so as to facilitate the unified calculation of the container operation volume.
There is a term when counting the number of containers: natural boxes, also called "physical boxes". Natural boxes are physical boxes that are not converted, that is, whether they are 40-foot containers, 30-foot containers, 20-foot containers, or 10-foot containers are counted as one container.
