Outport
Outport is the name given in the United Kingdom for a subsidiary port built in deeper water than the original port.[1] The Port of Tilbury from the Port of London is a good example. Avonmouth for Bristol and, on a smaller and now historical scale, Fordwich for Canterbury are others.
In Newfoundland and Labrador "a coastal settlement [small fishing village] other than the chief port of St John's".[2]
