Dock cut-offs

Russian - Russian Federation
Greetings, dear forumers 👁 Smile :)

Here's another English shipping term that makes me puzzled: "dock cut-offs".
Context: "There are also a few days prior getting the container to dock and dock cut-offs etc."
Your explanations will be highly appreciated 👁 Smile :)
A cut-off seems to be a cut-off point: that is, the day or time by which something must be done or some rule observed.
These evidently differ from one port to another.

Compare this page.
My guess would also be a deadline. As I read it, and this is just an educated guess, the container must arrive at the dock a set period of time prior to the scheduled sailing of the vessel. If this cut-off is missed the consignment will not be accepted for loading.
