For similar loading and unloading places built to extend from the shoreline out over water, use "piers (marine landings)"; if such places are artificial solid banks or shoreline extensions built parallel to the shoreline, use "quays." reference term-64776 adlib-term-64776 1e5eb4ce-78c0-3c0d-a7c3-f1e363932534 wharf V.RK.AFU.ALO.ALO.GRC.ARI.ARI.AXC.ARI 1 code V.RK.AFU.ALO.ALO.GRC.ARI.ARI.AXC.ARI 1 wharves reference term-64783 adlib-term-64783 d1248fdf-2c27-33c3-bf31-00d2a1b722a2 landings (marine structures) reference term-64778 adlib-term-64778 5836e25b-a6c9-374c-8048-2ac44da9fc99 piers (marine landings) reference term-64782 adlib-term-64782 c4f29898-7365-3502-9e94-9fda2c41459f quays wharves term
