A quay is for smaller ships or boats and is available for general use, these are frequently owned and operated by the local governments/council for the benefits of local fishermen. Passengers ship would usually dock at quays.

A berth is simply the space that could be occupied by one ship, it is not a fixed size, but would rather depend on the size of ship usually found in that place.

A quay is a structure made of stone, concrete or metal on navigable water (sea or river) and  lying alongside or projecting into water. It is used for loading and unloading vessels and it has one or more berths where vessels can moor to it.
