ISL-CONTAINER-PORT-TRAFFIC

This table presents the estimated total number of containers handled, per country, expressed in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). A TEU represents the volume of a standard 20 feet long intermodal container used for loading, unloading, repositioning and transshipment. A 40-foot intermodal container is counted as two TEUs. Data published are country totals which may conceal the fact that some minor ports are not included. The data includes container port throughput for ports with time series that are complete since 2010 or that can be made complete by repeating an observation for a maximum of three years after the original observation. This means that country level time series are comparable over time but that the coverage of ports may differ between countries.
