entry port
Where ships dock
Entry port refers to a point where something enters a system or space.
In travel and trade, it's a location where people or goods cross into a country: The ship docked at the main entry port.
In medicine and technology, it describes an opening that allows access—a surgical entry port for instruments, or a connector where cables plug into equipment.
