Berth place

Answer:

PIER

Hint:

Think of where ships dock to load and unload, often extending into the water with wooden or concrete supports.

Explanation:

"Berth place" hints at where a ship docks, and a pier is a common structure for that purpose. The word "berth" itself can mean a ship's parking spot, so the clue plays on that meaning directly. No wordplay here—it’s a straightforward definition pointing to "pier" as the answer.
