1 TEU is not 20 cubic feet.....it is 20'X 8" X @8". The majority of
the containers you are seeing on deck are probably 40 footers and
don't forget what is stowed below that you can't see


I never heard of a TEU and was going by what the post said. On the
shot from the side (#1) I count 20 slots and on the shot from the rear
I count 6 high and 22 wide. That makes 2640. If there are as many
below, that is still only 5280 which is a little over a third of
15,000.


Again, you're probably thinking 20 footers, where most are probably 40
footers that you are looking at, so double your numbers and figure possible
miscounts and you'll probably approach the !5K
