2 EVP (équivalents 20 pieds)

"Twenty-foot equivalent unit
"A 20-foot-long (6.1 m) ISO container equals 1 TEU.

The twenty-foot equivalent unit (often TEU or teu) is an inexact unit of cargo capacity often used to describe the capacity of container ships and container terminals.[1] It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container, a standard-sized metal box which can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains and trucks.[1]"

"Équivalent vingt pieds
Un conteneur standard de 20 pieds, équivalent à 1 EVP.

L'équivalent vingt pieds ou EVP (en anglais, twenty-foot equivalent unit : TEU) est une unité approximative de mesure de conteneur qui regroupe à la fois les conteneurs de 20 pieds et de 40 pieds. On l'utilise pour simplifier le calcul du volume de conteneurs dans un terminal ou dans un navire. Un conteneur de 20 pieds vaut 1 EVP et un conteneur de 40 pieds en vaut 2. Il est ainsi possible d'additionner les EVP, indépendamment de la taille des conteneurs chargés (la norme ISO 668:1995 définit des conteneurs de 10, 20 et 40 pieds). La capacité du porte-conteneurs Emma Mærsk est ainsi évaluée à 11 000 EVP."
