Two items worth mentioning in response:

1.) If some traffic is set to spawn at a certain location, and you are at that location, the traffic will not spawn. However, if it set to despawn at an area, and your at that area, it will despawn. ( At least I think thats correct, i could be mistaken. If anyones ever seen an entire convoy spawn right in front of them, then I am mistaken)

2.) Ships in harbor, they are either:

a.) Docked. Which means, well, for all intents and purposes, the crew is on shore leave, and the ship will just sit there like a bump on a log. Although I don't remember if the guns will be active or not.

b.) Not docked, but sitting there at zero knots. These ships, if after detecting you, WILL move around. The easiest way to see if a ship is docked or not, is to see if there's any smoke coming out of the stack.
