The answer depends on how heavy is the empty container in question. You're allowed to load as long as gross weight (container + cargo) does not exceed above-mention limit of 24 tons. Let's take an example. If container's tare weight is 2,25 tons, then maximum payload is 24-2.25=21.75 tons (see illustration if photo)
