A container port or container terminal is a facility where cargo containers are transshipped between different transport vehicles, for onward transportation. The transshipment may be between container ships and land vehicles, for example trains or trucks, in which case the terminal is described as a maritime container port. Alternatively the transshipment may be between land vehicles, typically between train and truck, in which case the terminal is described as an inland container port. * In November 1932 in Enola the first inland container port in the world was opened by PRR Pennsylvania Railroad companyPort Newark-Elizabeth on the Newark Bay in the Port of New York and New Jersey is considered the world's first maritime container port.

Loaded containers are stored for relatively short periods, whilst waiting for onward transportation, whilst unloaded containers may be stored for longer periods awaiting their next use. Containers are normally stacked for storage, and the resulting stores are known as container stacks. * In recent years methodological advances regarding container port operations have considerably improved, such as container port design process.
