A destination interchange terminal is a container yard or depot where containers are exchanged between the delivering motor carrier and the ocean carrier or its agent. It serves as a crucial facility for the seamless transfer of containers from the motor carrier responsible for the final delivery to the ocean carrier for onward transportation.
