Understanding Berths on Ships and Boats

Berths are spaces in a ship or boat where passengers or cargo can be stored. They are typically located below deck and are often used for cabins, cargo holds, or other areas where goods or people can be kept. The term "berth" comes from the Old Norse word "bryrtha," which means "a place to lie." Berths can be found on a variety of vessels, including cruise ships, ferries, and container ships.

Example: The new cruise ship has over 500 berths for passengers.

Synonyms: cabins, staterooms, compartments, holds.

Antonyms: deck, upper deck, open deck.
