Container Yard

A Container Yard (CY) is a designated area within a port or terminal where shipping containers are stored, stacked, and handled before loading onto or after unloading from vessels.

In a CY, containers are organized for efficient transfer between different transport modes. Operations include stacking, sorting, and inspecting containers to prepare them for the next stage of transportation.

Efficient management of Container Yards ensures smooth cargo flow, minimizes delays, and optimizes overall logistics operations.
