The different types of container

Containers are worldwide standardized boxes/units which enable easier handling as well as smoother transportation of goods. Most common ISO containers are 8 ft. wide (2.44m) and either 20 ft. (6.096 m.) or 40 ft. (12.19 m.) long ‒ hence the abbreviations TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) or FEU (forty-foot equivalent unit).
