Best Answer

For several reasons, for instance: * To fill up or empty the ballast tanks. * To supply fuel to the engine. * In the case of a tanker ship: to load and discharge the cargo. * The supply drinking water to the accommodation * The empty the bilges (system for draining the unwanted water falling in the holds or other parts of the ship).
