Container vessels are purpose-built ships optimized for efficient transportation of standardized containers across intercontinental routes. Modern large container ships offer capacities ranging from 15,000 to over 24,000 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units), significantly reducing per-container transport costs. Shipping lines deploy such ocean-going vessels primarily on major trade lanes such as Asia–Europe or Transpacific to achieve economies of scale and increase sailing frequencies. Vessel-size selection is a core strategic decision in the container liner business.
