cargo terminals
Shipping dock facilities
Cargo terminals are facilities where freight is loaded, unloaded, stored, and transferred between transportation modes.
At ports, cargo terminals handle shipping containers and bulk goods.
Airports have cargo terminals separate from passenger areas.
The term also applies to trucking and rail hubs: The new cargo terminal will double the port's capacity.
