The point of a ship is to sail on the sea. If you don't sail on the sea with a ship, you are wasting it, even if you are keeping it safe. The point is not to waste what you have - instead use it for its intended purpose. There is more danger in taking a ship out to sea but it is still worth it.

A port may have magazine buildings or warehouses for storage of goods and a transport system, such as railway, road transport or pipeline transport facilities for relaying goods inland.in short a port is used mainly for marine trading and a harbour is used as a parking space or a storage space for ships
