Hello I am not a teacher,

But in in your sentence there is not ab ig difference between the both word.

I give you an example:

I am at the bank (I am in front of the bank in the street) or I am in the bank (I am inside the bank).

Do you see the sense of these prepositions, now?

Cordially,

In port at dock.

"In port" sounds right to me too.
