port - the left side of a ship, when facing forward
starboard - the right side of a ship, when facing forward
The starboard side of a vessel ( or an airplane ) carries a green running light, and the port side carries a red running light. The best way to remember all this is: port, left and red are all short words, while starboard, right, and green are all long(er) words.
