riverport terminal
A station or loading terminal that handles ships and their passenger or cargo traffic on a river.
A riverport terminal is a facility that handles river traffic.
River traffic can involve passenger boarding or the loading and unloading of cargo. The terminal connects that traffic with a shore-side station or handling location.
The river setting distinguishes this terminal by the waterway it handles. A general cargo port terminal can also handle traffic on coastal waters or lakes.
