You missed the other one ~ I've been referring to gantry cranes at wharfs where they load container ships as "gantry cranes" and not "ports". You seem to be referring to a crane as a port.

It's pretty obvious that the semantic differential is still very high when it comes to this issue.

Other than the opportunity to slam other Conservatives, I really don't understand why you persist in using the wrong word!

so now you are parsing it down to the "crane" level. yes, I know that ports have docks, and at those docks are terminals, and at those terminals are cranes. who cares, none of this has anything to do with the basis for the opposition to the ports deal.
