What is a coal terminal?

A coal terminal is a facility designed for the storage, handling, and shipping of coal. It typically includes infrastructure such as loading docks, conveyor systems, and storage silos to manage the transfer of coal from trains, trucks, or ships to and from storage areas or vessels. Coal terminals play a crucial role in the supply chain, facilitating the export and import of coal to meet energy demands. They are often located near ports or railways to ensure efficient transportation.
