Vessels with bilateral symmetry have left and right halves which are mirror images of each other. One asymmetric feature is where access to a boat, ship, or aircraft is at the side, it is usually only on the port side (hence the name). Do you know why the colours are green and red? Apparently Ships of the City of Dublin Steamship Company were equipped with white masthead, green starboard lights and red port navigation lights. The P&O Company of Southampton had a different arrangement; green for port, green and red for starboard. The British Admiralty ordained that starboard was to be green and port red.
