Sākotnējais nosaukums bija "Jūras pasažieru stacija".No 1995. gada līdz 2000. gadam Rīgas pasažieru ostas nosaukums bija A/S "Rīgas pasažieru osta", un tās funkcijas bija: pasažieru kuģu un prāmju apkalpošana, ostas un citi pakalpojumi, stividorpakalpojumi, kuģu kravu aģentēšana, kravu deklarēšana, sabiedriskās ēdināšanas pakalpojumi, vairumtirdzniecības un mazumtirdzniecības, starpniecības un noliktavu pakalpojumu sniegšana. Pēc tam uzņēmējdarbību sāka veikt SIA Rīgas pasažieru termināls, kas šim nolūkam iznomāja piestātni un tās iekārtas no A/S Rīgas brīvosta, tāpēc Rīgas pasažieru ostas oficiālais nosaukums ir Rīgas Pasažieru termināls.
