I'm pretty sure there are rules of engagement regarding neutral ports.

Laws of War :
Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers in Naval War (Hague XIII); October 18, 1907

http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hague13.asp

"Belligerents are bound to respect the sovereign rights of neutral Powers and to abstain, in neutral territory or neutral waters, from any act which would, if knowingly permitted by any Power, constitute a violation of neutrality."

Convention on Maritime Neutrality, 135 L.N.T.S. 187, entered into force Jan. 21, 1931.

"Art. 3. Belligerent states are obligated to refrain from performing acts of war in neutral waters or other acts which may constitute on the part of the state that tolerates them, a violation of neutrality."
