Fast film is good. I am certainly spoiled with digital and cannot imagine the patience to figure out the settings for a night scene with film. For your ship idea, you will not be able to use a very slow shutter I assume, because the ships will be moving in the harbour at a speed prohibitive for longer captures. Therefore you must make up for that with the fastest lens and film you can get. A tripod and cable release will be a must I suspect.
