A unit of measurement equivalent to one twenty foot shipping container. 1, record 3, English, - twenty%20foot%20equivalent%20unit
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Thus a forty foot container is equal to two t.e.u.'s. This measurement is used to quantify, for example, the container capacity of a ship, the number of containers carried on a particular voyage or over a period of time, the throughput of a terminal or the unit on which freight is payable. For example, a container vessel providing space for 800 containers of 20 feet and 400 containers of 40 feet is described as a 1 600 TEU vessel. 1, record 3, English, - twenty%20foot%20equivalent%20unit

Elle est exprimée en équivalent d'un conteneur de 20 pieds (1 conteneur de 40 pieds, par exemple, est égal à 2 EVP). Le sigle français EVP tend à remplacer le «classique» TEU. On dira, par exemple, qu'un porte-conteneurs qui peut transporter 800 conteneurs de 20 pieds et 400 conteneurs de 40 pieds a une capacité de 1 600 EVP. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%A9quivalent%20vingt%20pieds
