Outport
{{Short description|A secondary or auxiliary port}}
An outport is any port considered secondary to a main port (including a provincial one as opposed to a capital one), and often (especially) a small port built to support the commercial operations of a large port.{{cite web |title=Home : Oxford English Dictionary |url=https://oed.com/view/Entry/133827?rskey=PK9tQy&result=1#eid |website=oed.com |access-date=25 August 2020 |language=en}} The Port of Tilbury from the Port of London is a good example. Avonmouth for Bristol and, on a smaller and now historical scale, Fordwich for Canterbury are others.{{cn|date=August 2020}}
