The Twenty-Foot equivalent Unit is a term used when speaking of containers aboard cargo ships... There are five common standard lengths, 20-ft (6.1 m), 40-ft (12.2 m), 45-ft (13.7 m), 48-ft (14.6 m), and 53-ft (16.2 m). United States domestic standard containers are generally 48-ft and 53-ft (rail and truck). Container capacity is measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU, or sometimes teu). An equivalent unit is a measure of containerized cargo capacity equal to one standard 20 ft (length) × 8 ft (width) × 8 ft 6 in (height) container. In metric units this is 6.10 m (length) × 2.44 m (width) × 2.59 m (height), or approximately 38.5 m³. These sell at about US$2,500 in China, the biggest manufacturer.

A Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) is a standard unit of measurement used in the shipping industry to indicate the capacity of a container ship. It represents the volume of a standard twenty-foot-long shipping container. Ships are often classified based on the number of TEUs they can carry.
