A port is a Warehouse with an associated PortDock. The PortDock is a PlayerImmovable that sits in the water on a field close to its Warehouse). The PortDock should not be touched by the AI, it will need to do all of its interaction with the associated warehouse (the Port).

It is no building.

No, neither :). But as said, the AI should only ever deal with the Warehouse, the PortDock is only important for the economy an ships.

You can just ask every warehouse::get_portdock(). If this returns nullptr, it is a plain Warehouse, otherwise it is a Port.
