"A vessel´s home port is the port at which it is based, which may not be the same as its port of registry shown on its registration documents and lettered on the stern of the ship´s hull. In the cruise industry the term "home port" is also often used in reference to the port in which a ship will take on / change over the majority of its passengers while taking on stores, supplies and fuel." - (en.wikipedia.org 17.09.2020)
