20 foot containers are generally 8 feet wide and 8.5 feet high. Taking that as the dimensions, you have 96 inches x 102 inches x 240 inches.
240/24 means 10 boxes can fit lengthwise. 96/18 and 102/18 mean you could fit 5 boxes wide and 5 boxes high, for a total of 5x5x10 = 250 boxes.
You could also fit 4 boxes placing them lengthwise across the width (96/24). That would still stack 5 high, and then 240/18 = 13 boxes lengthwise. 4x5x13 = 260 boxes, so you could fit 10 more by stacking them that way.
