dock
BrE: an enclosed area of water used for loading, unloading, building or repairing ships; a dockyard (or shipyard) consists of one or more docks with supporting structures
AmE: technically, any man-made structure in the water intended for people to be on, and thus synonymous with a pier or a wharf; however, in modern use, dock is used for almost anything not covered by pier, often with a qualifier, such as ferry dock, swimming dock, ore dock and other; the the term for the water area between piers is slip
док; пристань, пирс
