You could add higher port fees, but how is that encouraging better technology? If anything it will just encourage ships/cruise lines to dock nearby and ship goods/people over land/air.
Taxes are fine if a business cannot float between countries. In this case the business can literally float between countries, and they'll avoid the taxes.
