Best Answer

The proper term is Marine railway. this is a tracked structure on a steep ramp used to launch ships( having been newly built or repaired) into the water on what are called cradles, do not confuse with drydocks equipped with pumps or flood gates- opened in front to ( float out) the ships.

The location of the ship's railway can vary depending on the ship. However, typically it is located on the upper deck or main deck of the ship, near the side of the ship. It is used for transporting cargo, equipment, and other heavy loads.
