I'd say (it's a guess) the author used "port" in order to give the text some navigation flavor, I've found no different usages for port other than the conventional navigation meanings (bring to port, turn left) or as as a synonym for "carry"...

agree Neury : Se a tradução for para Pt Br, creio que o termo "navegando" se adequa melhor à frase

percorrendo ou nadando

Em realidade, navegando é uma palavra boa, tambem, mais não é exatement a mesma coisa. Neste contexto, a palavra ¨porting¨ se refiere ao emprego dum ¨porter¨ o carregador, quem leva as malas, as vezes num hotel, mais, tambem, as pessoas que levem viveres e suprimentos para os exploradoros na frontierias e florestas. Eu acho que ¨perocrrendo¨ é a palavra melhor, neste caso.

estudando minuciosamente

This would appear to be a typo for "poring through" which explains the difficulty colleagues are having to explain the meaning.
An example of "pouring throughfollows:



The STEP 100 is back and better than ever. Our judges spent a day and a half on their feet poring through every single entry to come up with the best 100 pieces.

From:
http://www.stepinsidedesign.com/STEPMagazine/Article/28576

"To pore over" is perhaps more usual terminology, (1.1 million Google hits vs. 114,000 for "poring through"), but 114,000 is respectable, too. The two mean essentially the same thing.

Olá, Teresa.
Fiquei curiosa com o termo, fui xeretar e olhe aí o que encontrei. Achei interessante. Acho que pode ser a resposta. ou seja, a pessoa estaria tranferindo manuais online para sua máquina.
É só uma opinião. Não sei se já traduziram esse termo para o Português. (Alô, Flávio Steffen! o que é isso? explique para nós!)
Bem, espero que ajude. Foi só mesmo vontade de ajudar. Nenhuma certeza. Grande abraço e bom trabalho.
