Why are all ships plan starboard facing?

Ships are often designed to have their plans facing starboard due to the convention of docking on the port side, which is the left side when facing forward. This orientation allows for easier access to the ship's controls and systems from the more commonly used side. Additionally, having the plans starboard-facing helps standardize operations and improves safety during loading and unloading. This practice also aligns with maritime regulations and industry standards for vessel design.
