Most Americans on the west coast call any place a shipping container can unload or an aircraft carrier to dock a port.

A grand total of zero Americans would ever think to disambiguate a warm water port or not. Especially from Texas. That's the weird part. Not the word port itself.

Harbor is usually reserved for non-commercial or fishing use only.
