TEUAnteil

TEUAnteil refers to the proportion of a company’s or individual’s trade volume measured in Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEU) within the total shipping capacity of a container terminal, port, or shipping line. TEU is a standard unit used to describe the capacity of container ships and container terminals, where one TEU represents the volume of a standard 20-foot long container.

The term "TEUAnteil" is primarily used in the German-speaking business and logistics sectors to quantify how much of a terminal’s or shipping line’s capacity is utilized by a specific customer or group of customers. This metric helps operators assess market share, demand distribution, and resource allocation efficiency. For example, a shipping company with a 10% TEUAnteil at a major port would occupy 10% of its container handling capacity.

Calculating TEUAnteil involves dividing the number of TEUs handled by a particular entity by the total TEUs processed by the terminal or shipping line over a given period, then multiplying by 100 to express it as a percentage. This metric is particularly relevant in container shipping, where capacity planning and demand forecasting are critical for operational success.

TEUAnteil is also relevant in discussions about port congestion, as high demand from certain customers can lead to bottlenecks. Terminal operators and shipping lines often use this metric to negotiate contracts, optimize fleet utilization, and plan infrastructure expansions. Additionally, it plays a role in regulatory and competitive analyses, where authorities or industry observers may track market concentration based on TEUAnteil data.
