| Marine Terminal:? A terminal is an assigned area with facilities for loading and unloading the cargo or passengers (for cruise lines) of various types of vessels. Typically a marine terminal will also be where cargo is received, stored, and later distributed to sites outside the port. Different kinds of cargo are handled at different kinds of terminals.? For example, bulk cargoes such as coal, grain, and petroleum require highly specialized facilities for their handling, while general cargo (including containerized cargo) requires adequate crane service and appropriate storage areas. | |
