On the left (south?) of the map there are a collection of foreign trading "anchors". You can put a trading (or any fleet vessel) there. Presumably this is a good thing somehow.
- Where can I see the value of having the trading ship there in my finances?
- Do I need to keep a trading ship there all the time, or can it wander off immediately the port is captured?
- Is there any value in putting more ships there?
- Does it need to be a 'trading ship' to start the trade, or can any vessel go there?

The best strategy to maximize revenue from an trading port is to put a fleet of 10 trading ships there and park some escorting warships directly next to it. The zone of control from the warships do not prevent enemies from attacking your trade fleet, but they will join the battle.
