Commercial ports may have warehouses that serve as interim storage: where it is sufficient a single wharf with a single berth constructed along the land adjacent to the water is normally used; where there is a need for more capacity multiple wharves, or perhaps a single large wharf with multiple berths, will instead be constructed, sometimes projecting over the water. A pier, raised over the water rather than within it, is commonly used for cases where the weight or volume of cargos will be low. </p><p>Smaller and more modern wharves are sometimes built on flotation devices (<a href="/wiki/Pontoon_(boat)" class="mw-redirect" title="Pontoon (boat)">pontoons</a>) to keep them at the same level as the ship, even during changing tides. </p><p>In everyday parlance the term <i>quay</i> (pronounced 'key') is common in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and many other Commonwealth countries, and the Republic of Ireland, and may also refer to neighbourhoods and roadways running along the wayside (for example, Queen's Quay in <a href="/wiki/Queens_Quay_(Toronto)" title="Queens Quay (Toronto)">Toronto</a> and <a href="/wiki/Queen%27s_Quay,_Belfast" title="Queen's Quay, Belfast">Belfast</a>).
