What do you call the port-holes that appear on the STARBOARD side of the ship?

Please keep in mind the reference directions on a sea-going vessel.

LOL - I get it. "Port vs Starboard" side of the ship, Why not "Portholes" on the Port side - and "Starboard-holes" on the Starboard side?. . . Funny. . .

If you are asking from the view point of another boat, there isn't a term that distinguishes which side of the ship you are looking at. The side marker lights (Red or Green) give you the orientation at night, and the bow/stern orientation during the day.

Port holes or port lights are not normally right or left/ port or starboard.

From an observer point, the ship has 2 dimensions, you can't see the other side.

Aye. THey are "port holes".

You could call them "starboard port holes".
