Container Depot / Container Yard (CD/CY)

There are millions of containers dropped off at different ports by ships for loading and unloading purposes every day. When these containers reach their destination ports, the goods need to be stored before it’s time for distribution. Container Depot / Container Yard (CD/CY) represents a storage area, where shippers and consignees may pick up or drop off empty containers. A container depot may not be owned or controlled by a shipper or its agent and may not receive loaded containers because only a limited number of containers are transported at a time.
