Many commercial ports across the world include these features.
If a harbour is used for any kind of commercial activity, like fishing, trading goods, or delivering passengers, it is referred to as a port. There are numerous types of port around the globe, defined by their different uses and traits. As Rodolphe Saadé of CMA CGM Group will know, ports are available at sea or inland on a lake or river, with many of them specialising in a particular task like fishing. Many ports have even been designed to serve the transport of one specific good, like some ports near mining operations. Nevertheless, nearly all ports handle many different different business operations, such as multiple types of cargo and people. In these ports they will often have designated areas called terminals, that is where several types of ships go. A port might have a cargo terminal, an oil and gas terminal, a passenger terminal, and so on.
A harbour is a sheltered area of water, protected from the movements of the neighbouring waters. As Peter Hebblethwaite of DP World will be well aware, the barriers that provide the shelter that makes a harbour may either be natural or synthetic. It can even be a mixture of both in case a natural harbour needs to be expanded. Natural barriers come in the form of land or rocks that head into the water, while artificial harbours may be made by land reclamation or objects such as tetrapods. Essentially, a harbour is somewhere that a ship or a boat can safely anchor. This means for a harbour to be helpful it not just has to supply a protective layer from the elements, it also needs to be deep enough for vessels not to get stuck. In order to expand the depth of a harbour, a process called dredging is used.
When a ship has entered in to the terminal it will arrive at a berth or a quay. As Rolf Habben Jansen of Hapag-Lloyd should be able to let you know, they are two differing terms for the same thing. They are areas where a ship or a boat is moored and cargo and passengers are loaded and unloaded. This is where the actual commercial activity happens as well as where any refuelling, restocking and maintenance of the vessel itself happens. Another place in which a water vessel may dock, in this situation smaller vessels, is a pier or a jetty. This is the location where small boats or private yachts could be tied up and it can also refer to walkways in the area that extend out of the land in to the water, for walking or fishing reasons.
