Container Size

Container Size refers to the standardized dimensions of shipping containers used in international trade and transportation. Common container sizes include 20 feet (20ft) and 40 feet (40ft), each adhering to industry standards to ensure seamless handling across various modes of transportation.

• 20 Feet (20ft) Container: This standard container size, measuring 20 feet in length, is commonly known as a TEU (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit).
• 40 Feet (40ft) Container: The larger variant, measuring 40 feet in length, is often referred to as a FEU (Forty-Foot Equivalent Unit).

The standardization of container sizes has been a cornerstone of modern logistics, enabling a uniform approach to cargo handling and transportation. The two primary container sizes, 20ft and 40ft, are recognized globally and are integral to the containerized shipping industry. These dimensions are carefully designed to accommodate a variety of goods while optimizing stacking and storage both on ships and at terminals.
