Twenty foot equivolent units, it's how they measue shipping containers and is based upon a 20 foot container , if you visit the web site of any port it's capacity for containers will state x thousand teu's here's one <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.mssa.org.uk>http://www.mssa.org.uk Marine Service Standards Assistance

As said 1 TEU = 1 20ft container. Unsurprisingly a 40ft container is 2 TEU!
