disembarkment
Exiting the ship
Disembarkment is the act of leaving a ship, aircraft, or other vehicle upon arrival.
The word is a more formal or bureaucratic variant of disembarkation: Disembarkment procedures delayed passengers for nearly an hour.
Both forms describe the process of getting off a vessel, though disembarkation is more common.
