About this game
Container Terminal Simulator
Build and manage your own rail container terminal.
Start with a small terminal yard and gradually transform it into a modern logistics hub capable of handling large freight trains, thousands of containers, and a growing fleet of specialized equipment.
Your mission is to receive container trains, organize unloading operations, manage storage yards, expand infrastructure, and make strategic decisions that determine the efficiency and profitability of your terminal.
Operate Specialized Equipment
Every operation within the terminal relies on dedicated container handling machinery.
Take control of:
• Forklifts
• Top container handlers
• Side container handlers
• Container trucks and trailers
• Automated gantry cranes
Each vehicle serves a specific purpose and allows you to perform different tasks across the terminal.
Handle Container Trains
Receive freight trains and manage incoming container traffic.
Unload railcars manually or use automated equipment to increase terminal productivity and streamline operations.
As your terminal grows, new logistics challenges and train types will become available.
Double-Stack Trains
As your terminal reaches higher development levels, you will gain access to double-stack container trains.
These trains carry significantly more cargo and require efficient yard management, advanced equipment, and careful planning to handle successfully.
Build Efficient Container Yards
Design and organize your storage areas the way you want.
Create your own container layouts, optimize available space, and use different types of equipment to handle stacked containers efficiently.
Higher stacking capacity increases terminal throughput but also requires more powerful machinery.
Expand Your Terminal
Earn money from cargo operations and reinvest profits into growth.
Purchase new equipment, unlock additional capabilities, and improve terminal efficiency through strategic development.
Every upgrade helps you process more cargo and build a more successful logistics operation.
A Living Logistics Environment
The terminal features multiple logistics companies, each represented by unique container branding and markings.
Dynamic day and night cycles, diverse container types, and continuously arriving trains help create an active and immersive logistics environment.

🚂Devlog #5 — The Road to Version 1.0
Devlog #5 — The Road to Version 1.0Hello, everyone!Almost a year has passed since Container Terminal Simulator entered Early Access, and today I'm excited to officially announce the release date of the full version.Container Terminal Simulator 1.0 launches on September 24, 2026.This is a very important milestone for me as an indie developer. When I first released the game in Early Access, I had a clear vision of a railway logistics simulator where players could build, manage, and gradually expand their own container terminal. However, I also knew that the project would continue to evolve alongside the community. Many of the systems that now define the game were shaped, improved, or completely rethought during Early Access.Over the last few months, the project has undergone its largest transformation since release. Rather than focusing only on frequent small updates, I decided to dedicate development time to rebuilding core systems, redesigning the interface, improving performance, and preparing the game for a stable and complete full release.This period has been challenging, especially while working on so many interconnected systems as an independent developer. Some changes were not immediately visible, and several improvements required rebuilding existing features instead of simply adding new ones. Nevertheless, this work was necessary to make the game more reliable and to create a stronger foundation for the future.Before diving into the changes, I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported the game throughout Early Access. Every review, bug report, suggestion, discussion, and wishlist has helped shape the direction of this project. Your feedback has often shown me how players actually use the terminal, which systems feel intuitive, and which areas still need more attention.Stability became the foundationThe primary objective of version 1.0 has been reliability.As the game grew, it became clear that some of its original systems were no longer sufficient fo...Read full article on Community Announcements (ctstikam)
