TEU conversion

TEU, or Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit, is a standard measurement used to describe a ship's cargo capacity. It standardizes container sizes by comparing them to a 20-foot-long container. For example, a 40-foot container counts as two TEUs. When a ship's capacity is given in TEUs, it indicates how many standard containers it can carry. This helps in comparing different ships and planning freight logistics efficiently. Essentially, TEUs provide a consistent way to measure and communicate cargo volume in the shipping industry.
