“Wow How Many Containers a Cargo Ship Can Carry?”
It’s a simple question – but the answer might surprise you!
When it comes to international shipping, containers are the backbone of global logistics. But have you ever stopped to wonder:
“How many containers can a single cargo ship actually carry?”
🔍 The answer: It depends on the size of the vessel.
Modern container ships come in various sizes – from smaller feeder ships to massive mega-vessels that dominate the seas.
Capacity is usually measured in TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) – the global standard for container volume.
🧱 1 TEU = 1 standard 20-foot container
🔸 Example Sizes & Capacities:
-
🚢 Feeder Ships:
Typically carry between 1,000 – 3,000 TEU -
🚢 Panamax Ships:
Range from 5,000 – 10,000 TEU -
🚢 ULCV (Ultra Large Container Vessels):
Can transport over 20,000 containers per trip
(Example: Ever Alot launched in 2022 – over 24,000 TEU)
