Container Yard
A Container Yard is a designated area within a port or shipping facility where shipping containers are stored, organized, and managed. These yards play a crucial role in the logistics and transportation industry, serving as a temporary holding space for containers before they are loaded onto ships or transported to their final destinations.
In a container yard, containers are stacked and arranged to maximize space and efficiency. Equipment such as cranes and forklifts is used to move containers in and out of the yard. Proper management of a container yard is essential for maintaining the flow of goods in global trade, impacting related sectors like shipping, logistics, and supply chain management.
