Why not? Ships are typically able to dock on either side depending on the port facilities available. Some cruise ships may be better designed to handle their passengers and cargo from one side or the other, but that is dependent on the design.

A boat's stern lights are typically red and green, with the red light indicating the port side and the green light indicating the starboard side. However, the specific stern light, which is a white light located at the back of the boat, should always be white. This light is used to indicate the vessel's presence to other boats when it is underway at night or in low visibility conditions.

The old vikings used ships that had the rudder hanging off one side, the rudder was basically shaped like a board. A board to steer with = steer board = starboard. And it was always on the same side of the boats, leaving the other side free to tie up against a dock.

starboard is the right of a boat. port is either where large ships are docked or the left of a boat. the way i remember it is port= 4 letters, left= 4 letters.
If you are facing the front (bow) of a boat, starboard will be on your right. If you are facing the back end (stern) of the boat, starboard will be on your left. The opposite side of the boat is called "port" because on boats with steering oars, the oar was located on what we call the starboard side, so the boats would tie up to the dock on the other "port" side of the boat, i.e. the Port they were tied up to was situated to the "port" side of the ship.
The term "starboard" originates from Old English "steor" (meaning "steering") and "bord" (meaning "the side of a ship"). Historically, ships were steered with a rudder on the right side, making it the designated side for steering. Over time, "starboard" became the standard term to refer to the right side of a ship, distinguishing it from the left side, known as "port."
When someone doesn't know what they are talking about. The left side is "port". Starboard is the right side, where the "steer-board" (i.e. rudder) was located on early Medieval ships. And it is only the right side when you are facing the bow of the ship.
The term "starboard" originates from Old English "styrbord," which referred to the side of a ship that was steered, typically the right side when facing forward. Historically, ships were steered with a rudder mounted on the right side, making it the preferred side for navigation. The word "star" in "starboard" is linked to the Old Norse word "stjǫrn," meaning "to steer." Over time, the term became standardized in maritime language to distinguish it from "port," the left side of the ship.
