The same as a car/other vehicle.
Near side is kerb side, so for UK, that is the left hand side of the vehicle, when looking to the front.
So, for "normal" (Right hand drive) car in this country, nearside is passenger side.
On the continent, the near side would be right hand side, but still passenger side, of course, unless you take your UK car over...... no, lets not confuse matters!! LOL :-)
EDIT:
Whoops, too slow!

Starboard is the right side of the ship as you are facing the bows. It comes from a Norse work for steer board meaning the side that the steering oar would be placed on an old boat - most people are right handed so the steer board would be over the right side of the boat.
Originally the left side of the ship was the Larboard or Leeboard - a word meaning the loading side, it was important not to dock with the steering oar close to the bank as it would get stuck and the boat would not be steerable and that side would always be in the lee of any waves by being close to the bank.
To avoid confusion with similar sounding words the left side (larboard) was changed to port by the Admirlty in the mid 19th century.
A ship will show a green light on the Starboard side and a red light on the port side (easy to remember if you think that the drink Port is red).
This is used universally and you will see planes with red and green navigation lights.
A life in the Sea Cadets has had it's uses at last
