Depot
Container types & equipmentContainer depot
A yard outside the port where empty containers are stored, inspected, and repaired.
In practice
Truckers collect empties for stuffing from the carrier's nominated depot and return them there after unpacking. Depot location matters for haulage cost and detention timing. In Singapore many depots are in Tuas, Jurong, and Pasir Panjang.

Empty release at Tuas depot, please quote depot name to the trucker.
