What is FEU?

FEU stands for Forty-Ft Equivalent Unit, and it is a standard measure used to define the capacity of shipping containers and vessels. It represents the space taken up by one 40ft container, which is equal to two 20ft containers (TEU). This measurement helps shipping companies and logistics providers calculate vessel capacity, storage space, and freight rates efficiently. Using FEU as a reference makes sure uniformity and simplifies international shipping operations.
