ferry landing
Where vessels berth
A ferry landing is a place where a ferry docks to load and unload passengers, vehicles, or cargo.
It may be a simple pier or an elaborate terminal with ramps, waiting areas, and ticket facilities.
The term emphasizes the point of arrival and departure rather than the structure itself: We waited at the ferry landing for the next boat.
