undockings

Leaving the berth

Undockings are instances of separating a docked vessel or spacecraft from its berth.

The word appears most often in space contexts, describing when a craft detaches from a station or another vehicle: The undockings proceeded without incident.

In maritime use, it refers to ships leaving dock.
