@Rashid Mahmood @Sulman Badshah @Bilal Khan (Quwa) can you please explain this part? What is meant by TEUs?
Technical escort unit.
It's not Technical Escort Unit. That particular TEU was a one-of-a-kind US military unit used for transporting CBRNE materials and equipment and responding to crisis involving nuclear, biological, radiological or nuclear materials, so definitely not what Damen, a ship maker, was referring to.
TEU in this case means "Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit" and is a reference to PNS Yarmook having space to two standard 20 foot containers, some of which can be outfitted with materials to support special missions.
This ship down in this cut-away is one of Damen's OPV designs, similar in apperance to PNS Yarmook. It can carry 3-4 20 foot containers. PNS Yarmook is either a tad smaller or has additional structures or features internally which prevent an additional container from being carried internally.
These might look like standard shipping containers, but often they contain gear for special forces, AUVs or UAVs, submersibles, diving gear, that kind of thing.
These are TEUs. Standard 20 foot containers, but outfitted with all kinds of non-traditional cargo
