Glossary term
Container Yard
The area where containers are received, stored and delivered; also a shorthand for full-container-load terms.
The stacking area where containers are held before loading and after discharge.
The abbreviation CY also appears in shipment terms - "CY/CY" - meaning the carrier’s responsibility runs from container yard at origin to container yard at destination, with the shipper packing and the consignee unpacking.
