It is that facility or set of port facilities that form the interface between the different modes of transport. The port terminal consists of a port operations area that includes the stowage/unstowage, loading/unloading, storage, transfer and receipt/evacuation phases through inland transportation.
The most widely-used elements in terminal operations are lifting structures such as STS, Straddle Carriers or Reach Stackers, machines used for loading and unloading such as Spreaders and Over Height frames, as well as other elements such as Forklift trucks or Unlashing baskets.
