ferry port
Ship departure point
A ferry port is a harbor facility where ferries dock to load and unload passengers, vehicles, and cargo.
Unlike general seaports, ferry ports are designed for frequent scheduled crossings and quick turnarounds: The ferry port at Dover handles millions of passengers annually.
Large ferry ports have multiple terminals, customs facilities, and vehicle staging areas.
