terminal is not exactly a dock, but an end place, where goods containers things originate or terminate; a dock is an enclosed body of water where ships may be loaded - a dock is for the ships, a terminal is for what they carry

An oil terminal can also be called an oil depot, a place where oil is deposited/stored. There would be docks for the oil tankers, so the terminal acts as a storage facility as well as a docking area.
