What is a Terminal?

A terminal is a location or area where freight is received, sorted, and dispatched as part of the transportation process.

Logistics terminals are often located near transportation hubs such as airports, seaports, or train stations and are equipped with loading docks, warehouses, and storage yards. They serve as an important link in the transportation chain, facilitating the movement of goods between different modes of transportation and providing a central point for freight management. Terminals may be operated by transportation companies, logistics providers, or other third-party organisations and are essential for ensuring the efficient and timely movement of goods through the supply chain.
