Terminals and Transshipment Facilities..
Transshipment terminals (transshipment points) are (external) sites at which transshipment activities take place. These activities include the loading and unloading of means of transport, sorting of goods, storage of goods, and release of goods from the warehouse (see Sect. 6.5.2). Transshipment terminals exist for all means of transport and can also be seen as a hub where different transport modes converge.
