Cargo Terminal

Cargo Terminal is Berth 4 of a working container terminal at shift change. A finger pier runs diagonally out into the harbour, with a laden box ship moored along each flank and the ship-to-shore crane K7 idle between them, boom raised, straddling the pier on rails set into both quay aprons.

Both teams spawn on the roof deck of the Terminal Operations building, 2.6 meters up, with a steel stair straight down into the truck lane. The middle of the map is that truck lane: 12 meters of open tarmac between the container blocks, with a trailer and a reach stacker for cover, running into the Landing under the crane. Hatch covers set down askew in the working zone make 1.2- and 2.4-meter steps.

The flanks are two different kinds of high ground. On the left, block 4A is a 2.6-meter plateau of packed 40- and 20-foot boxes with a second, squid-only tier at 5.2 meters. On the right, the reefer rack carries a grate catwalk over a covered alley: squids slip straight through the grate, while kids can walk underneath it and shoot up through the gaps.

Cargo Terminal is online only. It needs at least two players, it never fills with bots, and a player who leaves is removed instead of replaced. Teams may be uneven by design. The result is a stage that rewards real coordination: hold the truck lane with a teammate on the stacks, and the crane rail aprons become the flank nobody is watching.

Like every INKWAVE stage, Cargo Terminal plays at day and at dusk.
