5m wide = max. 1.5m width per ship.

I doubt that such small ships would be moored directly sideways to a 
solid stone quay. After all, what heavy or bulky load could they 
possibly carry? And how would they get out of the ships at low tide?

More likely you'd have narrow wooden walkways for such small vessels, 
floating on pontoons; and you'd moor multiple vessels side by side to those.
