Container Yard - A Container Yard, also known as CY for short, is a designated

storage area for containers in a terminal or dry port before they are loaded or
offloaded from a ship. A CY is used for aligning containers for loading on a ship and
for storing off-loaded containers till they are shifted to the rail yard, CFS, or
delivered to the consignee.

Container Freight Station - A CFS (container freight station) is a warehouse that
specializes in the consolidation and deconsolidation of cargo. An LCL (less than
container load) shipment will be taken to a CFS at origin to be consolidated into a
container with other cargo. ... LCL shipments will then be picked up from the CFS for
final delivery.
