Anchoring & Mooring

Anchors and mooring lines are essential components in maritime operations, serving to secure vessels and maintain their position in water. Anchors are heavy devices, typically made of metal, designed to dig into the seabed to prevent a boat or ship from drifting due to currents or wind. Mooring lines, on the other hand, are ropes, cables, or chains used to tether a vessel to a fixed point such as a dock, buoy, or another ship. Together, anchors and mooring lines ensure the stability and safety of vessels while they are stationary, facilitating safe boarding, cargo operations, and protection against environmental forces.
