A container terminal is a facility where cargo containers are loaded or unloaded from ships to land vehicles, for further transport. Often these vehicles are trains or trucks. These tend to be individual parts of a larger port, and situated near either a river or a harbour.

The biggest container terminals can be found situated around the major harbours. The biggest European container terminal can be found at Rotterdam.
