CY (Container Yard)

CY (Container Yard)

A Container Yard (CY) is a designated area within a port or terminal where containers are stored before they are loaded onto or after they are unloaded from a vessel.

It serves as a staging area for full containers that are waiting to be shipped or collected for inland transport. The CY is also where containers are picked up by truckers or other modes of transportation for delivery to their final destination. The term CY/CY refers to the point-to-point transportation arrangement where a full container is delivered from one container yard to another, covering the journey from the loading point to the unloading point.
