container yard
Shipping box lot
A container yard is a facility where shipping containers are stored, organized, and transferred between transportation modes.
Trucks deliver containers to the yard for loading onto ships or trains, and containers arriving by sea or rail are staged there for pickup.
The term is standard in logistics and port operations: The driver waited three hours at the container yard.
