It depends on the draft of the shift. Draft is the amount of ship that is underwater. Some ships have very deep draft that prevents them from entering many harbors. New York has the deepest and widest harbor in the world and there are many ships that cannot enter due to their draft.
To put that in perspective the controlling depth throughout the harbor is about 45 feet. I once served aboard a tanker with a draft of 82 feet!
