homeporting
Designating primary harbor
Homeporting is the practice of assigning a ship to a particular port as its permanent base of operations.
The term appears most often in military and cruise ship contexts: The Navy is homeporting two destroyers in San Diego.
For cruise lines, homeporting a ship in a city means passengers can board there rather than flying to a distant departure point.
