Ports and harbours are not the same thing. A harbour is merely a sheltered body of water protected by man made or natural structures. A port, on the other hand, is the whole infrastructure for handling ships & their cargoes. This may include any number of harbour areas, but also wharves, piers, docks, quays, warehouses, terminal buildings, admin & customs offices, etc.

So such areas would be better served with a 'port' tag of some kind.
