harbor-craft
Ships in harbors
Harbor-craft are vessels designed for work within harbors and ports rather than open-water voyages.
The category includes tugboats, pilot boats, ferries, barges, and patrol vessels—anything that operates primarily in protected waters near shore.
The harbor-craft guided the container ship to its berth.
