Two ports connected to one station?
Is that possible?
If I try to attach another dock to existing port station (with CTRL+clicking on an existing Docks)
all I get is
In my perfect vision ships don`t stack one on another at the single port but, when going to a certain station, they would spread across available docks, like buses and trams find a free bus/tram stop when the closest one is already taken.
Is that an option?

Re: Two ports connected to one station?
No, you can only have one port attached to a station. What you see in those images are an illusion made possible by non-station tile NewObject sets, including one of the boats sitting on the edge of the docks.

I know because I built it
It would be so nice to have, let`s say, container crane loading cargo to, well, a container freighter, and next to it a massive tanker loading oil via pipes. But you can`t.

Re: Two ports connected to one station?
it would be a nice option, and initially rather easy to implement. you only need a pathfinder penalty for when a dock is occupied, like stations and bus stops already have. but you have to consider a few things before trying to implement it:
- if ships should be distributed between docks, should "stacking" at the same dock be prevented?
- if not, why would you add pathfinder penalties to finding an empty dock?
- if yes, should "stacking" (passing through) of ships be prevented elsewhere? how should traffic getting stuck be handled?
- should a single dock tile allow docking on each (usually 3) side of it, to ease busy dock construction? how should sides blocked by land be treated?
- if docks are made more airport-like in the future, to allow NewGRF-replacements, how should that be integrated?

The New Map Features pack has multiple-docks-per-station implemented.

Re: Two ports connected to one station?
And to update this old post that I again randomly come across, you can now place multiple docks as part of one station.
