I have seen many different English terms given for this, such as harbor master, port commander, port captain, port master, port director, port chief, etc.
However, I am having difficulty wading through all the different terms. The Japanese term means "head of the port" or "chief of the port."
What is the appropriate term that is in common use in the United States?
Thanks in advance.

Harbormaster
No space between harbor and master. See the last paragraph of the first section of the first reference.
This is for American English. I am not sure if there is a different term for British English.

Comment: "I think harbormaster (no space) is the term most frequently used in the US. Thanks, everyone, for your help."

harbour master
I don't know what is common in the "U.S.", but there is a group called the International Harbour Masters Association (IHMA), an NGO organization of the International Maritime Organization. From this name, we can assume that "harbour master" be a more common term for "港長".
