Vessel Classification by TEU Capacity

Container tonnage is primarily categorized by its Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) capacity and the specific trade routes it is designed to service:

Small container Feeders (300 - 1,000 TEU):

Optimized for short-sea shipping and intra-regional routes. These "small container ships" are often geared (equipped with their own cranes), allowing them to operate in smaller ports with limited shore-based infrastructure.

Feeder & Feedermax (1,000 – 3,000 TEU):

The backbone of hub-and-spoke networks, these vessels transport cargo from major deep-sea hubs to secondary regional terminals.

Panamax & Post-Panamax (3,000 – 10,000 TEU):

Versatile mid-market vessels designed to navigate the original or expanded Panama Canal locks while maintaining significant economies of scale.

Neo-Panamax & ULCV (10,000 – 24,000+ TEU):

Massive "mother vessels" built for long-haul East-West corridors, utilizing advanced hull forms and propulsion to minimize the cost per slot.
