Look up world ports and terminals in the NGA World Port Index (Pub 150, ~2,950 ports) by port name (partial match) and/or country (full country name, e.g. "Japan"). Returns matching ports with location (lat/lon, country, region), UN/LOCODE, harbor size/type and shelter, max vessel length/draft (meters), channel/anchorage/cargo-pier depths, tidal range, and chart number. Keyless, public-domain (NGA). Physical-port reference data an LLM cannot reliably recall; complements maritime.vessel (USCG vessel registry) and maritime.cases (port-state-control inspections).
