storage facility or housing facility equipment/apparatus

- 格納 is defined as housing for equipment and machines (in Nelson’s Japanese Character Dictionary)
- 格納庫 is defined as a “hangar.” (storage facility for aircraft)

However, since your subject concerns shipping and transportation, perhaps it can be about storage/housing facilities that house equipment and machinery at the port.

Storage or housing facility equipment can perhaps even be “containers” that are usable as a form of portable housing for a variety of implements, equipment, etc. as can be seen in the below website:

- Here’s a weblio definition:

格納する house.
格納庫 〈航空機の〉 a hangar.

Hangars are usually house aircraft and although there are “ship hangars”, I didn’t think it applied in your case.

I have selected this one, partly because “stowage” means “the act or method of stowing”, which can be translated into such a variety of Japanese terms as “格納、収納、収容、貯蔵、積載、積荷、積め込み”.
