You are almost right, except you are using the old 1.9.x fnAddData method on a 1.10.x API. Do this instead :

oTable.row.add([
   s[i].port_code,
   s[i].cont_details_id,
   s[i].price,
   s[i].cont_price,
   s[i].cont_no,
   s[i].cont_size,
   s[i].cont_type
]).draw();

or 

var oTable = $('#example').dataTable();
...
oTable.fnAddData([
   s[i].port_code,
   s[i].cont_details_id,
   s[i].price,
   s[i].cont_price,
   s[i].cont_no,
   s[i].cont_size,
   s[i].cont_type
]);
