Nathaniel Seeds, Director, Terminal Planning for APL Ltd. in Seattle agrees. "Quay Commander enables us to more precisely estimate the move time for high-priority cargo," says Seeds. "When that move time isn't fast enough to meet scheduled rail connections, Quay Commander lets us instantly reassign cranes, or work queues with the click of a mouse. Quay Commander is a powerful real-time control tool."

And guess what, everyone still calls it a dock, you can't change that. So all your information is still an overload. Seriously like anyone will actually read all of that.
How was I owned? Some guy just posted 200 more pages of information that a native english speaker couldn't possibly hope to rack their brain around in under 45 minutes. How the hell could you expect a Russian too? He just proved my point more.Quote:

So don't jump the gun on the pwnage there, I'll let you know when someone has pwned me wrong, which doesn't happen often.
I understand what you mean about knowing as much as you can about a subject you've inquired about, though when I want to know what the word "Go" in russian I'll settle for "идти" and "ехать"
But when you say "Well you can add за, до, по, у, от, под plus ходить + гулять + шагать + двигать + путешествовать + канать +действовать. It gets a little overwhelming.
Thus I would hope that the teacher, or person whom I've asked would have enough common decency to spare me the advanced subjects and subjects I'd never use from the ones which are relatively elementary.Quote:
Думаю, Ramil сам решит, принимать ему во внимание мнение giovanni или нет. Действительно, здесь не для тебя пишут.
Ramil, stick with dock. Unless you're a Sailor... Just say dock for fock's sake.

The Russian word верфь is a borrowing of Wharf. But the meaning in Russian is slightly different.Quote:

BTW, Ramil, don't get upset. Russian learners will be dumbfounded after looking for the word 'pier' in En-Ru dictionary:
pier (n) - мол, волнолом, дамба, запруда, плотина, пирс, причал :lol:
For me it's always "пирс", a long stone or concrete thing that protrudes into the sea, and intrnded to walk on, to dive from and to fish.
Вот в моём представлении пирс всегда на сваях.
М-м, для меня это скорее причал.Quote:

This is a pier:Quote:

It can be bigger or smaller, but it's never a thing that is made of piled stones. That would probably be called a jetty. Apparently, something that I might call a pier (wooden, high off the water) could also be called a jetty if it were low to the water.
Громозека, а я и не расстраиваюсь, ребята всё очень популярно объяснили, как мне кажется.
Thanks, Matroskin. That's what Leof calls "a pier" too. ;)
I just used to call jetty "a pier" because it's called that way where I lived half of my life (a seashore town). "Мол" and "пирс" were often interchangeable there.
My Lord! Jetty!.. What will, you people, come up with next?
Causeway? :wink:Quote:

Pier is fine, or dock if you tie boats to it.

It's sort of the same. "A structure built on the shore of or projecting into a harbor, stream, etc., so that vessels may be moored alongside to load or unload or to lie at rest"Quote:
