Because port/starboard refers to the left/right side of the ship, regardless how the person orientated. If you are facing the front of the ship, then yes, port = left. If you are facing the back of the ship, port = right. So it is very handy to have words that always refer to the same part of the ship.
(All the other terms, like front/bow and stern/rear, who cares? I dunno.)
Literally? Where do I say that?
But thanks for that conclusion, great. Very constructive.

Thank you both!
Where do the white/black letters T K T P stand for?
I would call 4 flowers hardly a 'bouquet' :D
Exactly. Same here. I only see Reddit via Google searches.
In a car, sure, since 99% of the seats face the front. Same for an airplane. Left is left, right is right.
How would you do that with for instance a classic rowboat? Then your left is on the right side, no matter how you turn your head?
