cargo terminal
Shipping goods hub
A cargo terminal is a facility where freight is received, processed, and transferred between transportation modes—ships, trucks, trains, or aircraft.
Unlike passenger terminals, cargo terminals handle goods rather than people, with warehouses, loading docks, and equipment for moving containers and bulk materials: The shipment cleared the cargo terminal overnight.
