Strange thing I didn't know about walls and the purposes of trade ports. I'm pretty sure I had read through the whole tutorial.
Your Trade Port is used against you if you are pillaged, regardless if they are on your island or not. Walls are the yellow flag at the every edge of your town and provide a defense bonus -- whether it provides a defense bonus against coastal attack i am not sure.

If you are blockaded, you can also use your own trade ships and send out your goods 12 hours across the map to ensure the goods don't get pillaged, just make sure to recall them back unless you are feeling charitable.
