In the container shipping biz, what does "teu" stand for (relating to capacity)?
157325
Container capacity (of ships, ports, etc) is measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU, or sometimes teu). A twenty-foot equivalent unit is a measure of containerized cargo capacity equal to one standard 20 ft (length) × 8 ft (width) × 8.5 ft (height) container. In metric units this is 6.10 m (length) × 2.44 m (width) × 2.59 m (height), or approximately 39 m3. Most containers today are of the 40-ft variety and thus are 2 TEU. 45 ft containers are also designated 2 TEU. Two TEU are referred to as one forty-foot equivalent unit (FEU).

type 'ounces per metric tonne' at Google and you get\n\n1 ounce = 2.83495231 × 10-5 metric tonnes\n\nSo just multiply the number of ounces per package times the number of packages times 2.83495231 and divide by 100000 and you get the weight in tonnes.

A bill of lading is a document issued by a carrier, e.g. a ship's master, acknowledging that specified goods have been received on board as cargo for conveyance to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified. A through bill of lading involves the use of at least two different modes of transport from road, rail, air, and sea. The term derives from the noun "bill", a schedule of costs for services supplied or to be supplied, and from the verb "to lade" which means to load a cargo onto a ship or other form of transport.

I believe this is commonly referred as an ocean bill of lading.\n\nOcean Bill of Lading - A receipt for cargo in transit, and a contract between the exporter and an ocean carrier for transportation and delivery of goods to a specified party at a specified foreign destination. Issued after the vessel has sailed and the cargo has been entered in the ship's manifest.

Standard containers may refer to shipping containers which are generally either 20ft long or 40ft long by 8 feet wide (the width of 2 pallets). In the context of your question, the containers you are referring to are more likely to be smaller plastic containers. These are often 23.6 inches x 15.7 inches in plan view so that they can fit onto a pallet in a configuration of 5 per layer. A pallet container is likely to be a pallet size in plan view - 48 inches by 40 inches normally - but with sides.
