Container Yard (CY), Container Freight Station (CFS) 

and Door are the three essential concepts in the delivery 

and receiving of container cargoes. A container yard is 

a designated storage area for handing over and storing 

loaded and empty containers. A container freight station, 

similar to a warehouse, is where cargoes are processed 

and consolidated into containers. A “door” is the door of 

the shipper’s factory or warehouse. Accordingly, there 

are nine combinations for cargo handover: CY/CY (CY to 

CY), CY/CFS, CY/Door, Door/Door, Door/CY, Door/CFS, 

CFS/Door, CFS/CY, and CFS/CFS. The specific choice 

depends on forms of the cargoes of container that are to 

be dropped off and received. Generally, liners use CY/

CY, while NVOCCs that handle LCL shipments often use 

CFS/CFS.
