simple:Harbor A harbor (or harbour in international usage) is a place where ships may shelter. Often it is used as a synonym for port: a coastal or riverine facility where ships can load and unload. The port will typically consist of a water space enclosed by wave breakers, a number of quays or piers where the ships may be moored, magazine buildings for storage of goods and a transport system for relaying goods inland. Typically railway and road transport will be utilized. Additional possibilities are pipeline transport and further ship transport with smaller ships.During the D-Day operations of 1944, two artificial harbors (codenamed Mulberry) were built just off the invasion beaches.
Ice-free harbors
For harbors near the poless, being ice-free is an important advantage, ideally all-year round. Examples are Murmansk (Russia), Petsamo (Russia, formerly Finland), Vardø, and Prince Rupert, British Columbia (Canada).

In computing, port has several possible meanings. Which meaning is intended can usually be determined from context.
Hardware Port
A hardware port is an outlet on a piece of equipment into which a plug or cable connects. For instance, a computer may have a keyboard port, into which the keyboard is connected.
Networking Port
A networking port, so named by analogy with the above, is a notational point for the connection of network programs. In TCP and UDP, multiple network services running on a single host are distinguished by port numbers; the operating system kernel uses these port numbers to sort out which packets should go to which programs. A program which is using a port, whether to await connections (i.e. to be a server) or to make connections, is said to have a socket bound to that port -- more hardware analogy. A well known port is between the range 0-1023 which were traditionally assigned by IANA. Ephemeral ports are somewhere between 1024 to 65535 depending on the implementation of the TCP/IP stack of an operating system.
List of some well known network ports:
- 20 FTP
- 21 FTP
- 22 SSH
- 23 Telnet
- 25 SMTP
- 53 DNS
- 70 Gopher
- 80 HTTP
- 107 Remote Telnet Service
- 109 POP2
- 110 POP3
- 119 NNTP
- 143 IMAP4
- 194 IRC
- 220 IMAP3
- 389 LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
- 443 HTTPS
- 540 UUCP (Unix to Unix copy)
Software Port
In programming, a port is a localization or translation of a piece of software to a particular API, operating system, or generally any other computing environment than that for which it was written. See porting for detail.
Machine or I/O Port
A machine port, or I/O port is a concept peculiar to Intel microprocessors. It is the primary method for microprocessor control of hardware devices. A machine port is essentially equivalent to a single-byte memory location, except that reading from it or writing to it will have an effect defined by the device in question. For example, a common use is to provide a status register, where writing to the port will determine which of up to 256 bytes will be returned by the next read operation. Unlike other architectures, Intel-based computers primarily use DMA for bulk information transfer, not control.

Port is a nautical term referring to the left-hand side of a ship when facing towards the bow; an archaic version of the term is larboard. (The equivalent for the right-hand side is "starboard".) The terms are also used for aircraft, spacecraft, and analogous vessels.
A port buoy is a buoy used to guide vessels. The port buoy is one that a vessel must leave to port when passing upstream. Such buoys are usually green or black, with red buoys to starboard.

Port wine (or Porto) is sweet, fortified wine from the Douro Valley in the northern part of Portugal; it takes its name from the city of Oporto, the centre of port trading. Port has been made in Portugal since the mid 15th century. Port became very popular in England after the Methuen Treaty of 1703, when merchants were permitted to import it at a low duty. The continued English involvement in the port trade can be seen in the names of many port shippers: Croft, Taylor, Dow, Graham, Symington, etc. Similar wines, often also called "Port", are now made in several other countries, notably Australia and United States. In some nations, including the European Union only the product from Portugal may be labeled as "Port".Port wine is typically thicker, richer, sweeter, and possesses a higher alcohol content than most other wines. This is caused by the addition of distilled grape spirits to halt fermentation before all the sugar is converted to alcohol. It is commonly served after meals as a dessert wine, or with cheese.
Port comes in several varieties:A glass of port wine.
Unfortunately, while Porto produced in Portugal is strictly regulated by the Instituto do Vinho do Porto, many wines in the U.S. use the above names but do not conform to the same standards. Thus each genuine port style has a corresponding, often very different style that you will find on wines made outside Portugal.
- Vintage
- Tawny
- LBV (Late-Bottled Vintage)
- Vintage Character
- Ruby
- White
Vintage port is made entirely from grapes of a declared vintage year. Not every year is declared a vintage in the Douro, only those when conditions are favorable to particularly flavorful crops of grapes. The decision to declare a vintage is made by each individual port house, and is based on several factors, most notably the weather and the ability of the marketplace to absorb a new vintage. While it is by far the most renowned type of port, from a volume and revenue standpoint it actually makes up a small percentage of the production of a typical port house. Vintage ports are aged in barrels for a maximum of 2 years before bottling, and often require another 5 to 15 years of aging in the bottle before reaching what is considered proper drinking age. Since they are aged in barrels for only a short time, they retain their dark ruby color and fresh fruit flavors. Particularly fine vintage ports can continue to gain complexity and drink wonderfully for decades after they were bottled, and therefore can be particularly sought after and expensive wines.
"Port" produced outside of Portugal may be labeled with a vintage date, but is not real Vintage Porto and likely is meant for immediate consumption rather than extended aging.
Ruby and tawny Port may contain wine from several vintages. Vintage, ruby, and LBV ports are fermented in wood and aged in glass, which preserves the wine's red color.
LBV (Late-Bottled Vintage) port is intended to provide some of the experience of drinking a vintage port but without the decade-long wait. In contrast to vintage port's short time in barrel, LBV port is aged for several years in barrel to mature it more quickly. Typically ready to drink when released, LBV ports are the product of a single year's harvest and tend to be smoother and lighter-bodied than a vintage port. The confusingly named Vintage character port is similar to LBV port.
Tawny port is aged in wooden barrels, exposing it to gradual oxidation and evaporation, causing its color to mellow to a golden-brown after roughly ten years "in wood." Often they have pronounced "nutty" flavors. Most tawny port is a blend of several vintages, with the average years "in wood" stated on the label: 10, 15, 20, and 30 years are common. Tawny ports from a single vintage are called Colheitas. Tawny and Colheita ports are always ready to drink when released and do not typically benefit from aging in bottle, although they will not degrade either. Because is has already been exposed to oxygen, an open bottle of tawny resists oxidation the longest of all ports.
"Tawny" port produced outside Portugal is rarely aged long enough to develop a natural tawny color. Instead, it is the result of blending "ruby" and "white" ports, or possibly the addition of caramel coloring.
White port is made from white grapes, and generally served as a chilled aperitif. Ruby port is aged minimally, and is mostly used for cooking or blended into cocktails.

In computer programming, porting is a translation of a piece of software to a particular API, operating system, hardware, or generally any other computing environment than that for which it was written.To port software is to edit it so that it can be compiled or otherwise run on that platform. This process may be extremely easy, requiring few (if any) tweaks to the code, or it may involve a lengthy and extensive rewrite.
Among common obstructs in porting are difference in endian and lack of particular hardware features such as floating-point number operation.
Portability describes the relative ease of porting process, which is one important goal in software engineering. It is dependent on the way a program is written, as well as the programming language used. The data compression programs zip and unzip are often held to be amongst the most portable and most ported, due to being a simple front end to a mathematical algorithm. Another more complicated but highly portable program is VIM, or Vi IMproved: available in MS-DOS, Win16, Win32 (in graphical and text-only modes), MacOS 7/8/9.x and Mac OS X, BeOS and pretty much any flavour of Unix.
There are many tools and schemes to ease porting, particularly in UNIX community (called package management systems). Among them are GNU autoconf with automake, ports of NetBSD, RPM of Red Hat and Fink of MacOS X.

A seaport is a major facility in a city, for the loading, unloading, and movement of cargo to and from oceanic ships. The term also refers to a city with such a facility. (See also port.)Critical to the functioning of a seaport is:
Seaports are often equipped with large cranes for the loading and unloading of containers from container ships. These are usually operated by members of the longshoremen's union. Pilots and tugboats are also used to safely maneuver the ships in tight quarters.
- Presence of deep water channels (40 feet minimum) and berths
- Protection from wind, wave, and surge
- Access to intermodal transportation (trains and trucks)
