Off-Dock Container Freight Stations (CFS)

Quelle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_freight_station

An off-dock container freight station (CFS) is a logistics facility located away from a seaport where containers, particularly for less-than-container-load (LCL) shipments, are consolidated (stuffed), deconsolidated (unstuffed), stored, and cleared through customs. It serves as an intermediate hub between shippers, freight forwarders, and the port terminal.
