„Port“

1. A place intended for loading and unloading the cargo or passengers of vessels – it may be within a natural harbor on a coast, or on a river, or within sheltered water produced by artificial jetties.

2. A place where customs officers are stationed for the collection of duties and the control of imports and exports.
