container yard

A container yard is a designated area within a port or terminal where shipping containers are temporarily stored, organized, and prepared for transport. It functions as a logistical hub where containers are stacked, sorted, and transferred between ships, trucks, and trains. The yard uses equipment like cranes and trucks to move containers efficiently, ensuring smooth flow of goods in the supply chain. Its primary purpose is to manage the storage and handling of containers, facilitating the transfer of cargo from ships to other transportation modes or vice versa.
