It appears that there may be some confusion with the term "SKY." There isn't a well-known marine port named SKY in the United States. Ports are typically named after their geographic locations or the cities in which they are located.

However, I can provide you with an overview of a major U.S. marine port for reference. Let's take the Port of Los Angeles as an example:
