Sea container
A 20 ft reefer container holds 10 Euro pallets, all in one layer. Two layers need 2.40 m and the inside is 2.27 m high, so stacking adds none. Each pallet is assumed 1.20 m high with its load and 400 kg.

Not in this unit. Two layers need 2.40 m and the inside is 2.27 m high, so the count stays at 10.
The counts assume 1.20 m and 400 kg a pallet. At that weight the 27,470 kg payload carries at most 68 pallets. A pallet taller than 1.13 m cannot go two high, because the inside is 2.27 m high. Enter your own sizes in the Container loading calculator.
10 Euro pallets of 1,200 × 800 mm cover 9.6 m² of the 12.5 m² floor, which is 77%. The rest is gaps and strips too narrow for another pallet.
