Using Other Nations' Ports (alternately titled, Avoiding Naval Attrition)

Under what circumstances can one use a port not belonging to their nation, so as to replenish from attrition? Alliance, military access, vassal? Or alternately, what provinces can your boats be bordering to lose its attrition?

Military access, vassal and being an ally and in war together.

 

[unmerged(2330)]

For the latter or the former?

These are the condityions needed to use another nation's ports.

In order to have no attririon you must be in your own national waters i.e. in water bordering a province you own.

If you are in a war and you occupy the enemy nation(s)'s port province, you can go into that one, as well.

That's odd...My ships cannot go inside the ports of my allies.

They can only enter allied ports if you're both in a war together against someone else.

Or if you have military access.

The port also has to be empty(anchor icon not an gear icon)

Are you sure you both have to be at war? I think you can use each others ports if at least one of you is a war - but I'm not real sure about it.

Should be like with land armies. IF u can move troops thru their lands, u can use their harbours.

Right, but do both of you have to be at war? Or just one of you?

If you control the provence (you do not have to own it) you can use the port.
