Cargo terminal
A cargo terminal is a facility for receiving, handling, storing and transhipping cargo between modes of transport. A container terminal in a port or a “dry port” is a special case; many terminals have a temporary storage warehouse and a customs control zone.
Unloading, storage, consolidation and customs operations are carried out at the terminal. The cargo handling times depend on the terminal's throughput capacity.
We will arrange handling at the terminal and customs clearance.
