ferry docks
Where vessels moor
Ferry docks are the waterfront structures where ferries load and unload passengers and vehicles.
The term covers both the physical infrastructure—piers, ramps, and terminals—and the location itself: We'll meet you at the ferry docks at noon.
Unlike general boat docks, ferry docks are designed for the repetitive, scheduled arrivals and departures of commercial ferry service.
