Ships typically drop anchor in designated anchorage areas, which are safe zones in a harbor or offshore where vessels can secure themselves to the seabed. These areas are chosen based on factors like water depth, seabed composition, and protection from weather conditions. Anchoring allows ships to remain stationary, often while waiting to dock or during periods of rest at sea. Proper anchoring techniques are crucial to ensure the safety of the vessel and its crew.
