Ceres Terminals has announced the upcoming opening of a new permanent pop-up container yard located in the Greater Houston area.

Ceres’ container yard is uniquely positioned as the closest yard to the terminal giving customers quick and easy access. Servicing steamship line partners, BCO’s and the trucking community, Ceres is staffed and equipped for operation.

Ceres’ new yard will provide grounded container services to help industry maximize chassis efficiencies and the ability to maximize port turns, along with managing first receivables at the terminal. Located just minutes from the port, Ceres will provide services for final leg deliveries to meet cut-offs.
