landing stage
Waterside boarding dock
A landing stage is a platform, typically floating, where boats pick up and drop off passengers or cargo.
Unlike a fixed pier or dock, a landing stage rises and falls with the water level, connected to shore by a hinged walkway or gangplank: We waited on the landing stage for the ferry.
