Not wanting to get into a pi@@ing match about my terminology about a wharf but here is an appropriate definition of a wharf:
A wharf or quay ( /ˈkiː/, US also /ˈkeɪ/ or /ˈkweɪ/)[1] is a structure on the shore of a harbor where ships may dock to load and unload cargo or passengers.[2] Such a structure includes one or more berths (mooring locations), and may also include piers, warehouses, or other facilities necessary for handling the ships.
You can call the "wharf" whatever you want but they do have a structure on both sides of the launch where you can indeed "load and unload cargo or passengers"
