Question:
doing research work at sea port so i require what does the various terms used at sea port like anchorage, pilotage, mooring and equipments like dredgers, hopper, barges, dock tugs, harbour tugs etc.
Answers:
Pilotage is an area where you are required to have a pilot to go through. Local pilots are required because they know local conditions.
moorng is a place with anchored- floating balls that a ship can tie up to.
Dredgers scrape the bottom to keep the depth adequate
Hopper-what the dredger puts the dredgings in or if it is a grain carrier-the hold where the grain is put
barge- flat boat without engine that is pushed or pulled by a tug
dock tugs are used to bring large boats up to the docks or to get them out from the docks.
can anyone convert knots and mile please?
I haven't really found one site that answers all the definitions clearly, as most of them seem more concernerd with showing the internationally recognized abbreviations. If you are working in the port, it would definitely be easier for someone to show you the difference between a barge and a dredger, say, than trying to find sites that have this information clearly laid out.Yanmar YSE8 marine engine how much to hone out?

For Anchorage:http://www.thefreedictionary.com/anchora... Pilotage:http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pilotag... Mooring is just the act of tying the ship up,or the ropes/cables used.Dredgers are vessels that "scrape" the bottom of the rivers,inlets,ports,bays ect removing sand that the tides bring in.The purpose being to keep the body of water from becoming to shallow for deep draft vessels.Think of hoppers has large boxes that are used to hold dry stuff for loading.Grain for instance would be put into a hopper,until it could be transferred ( usually via forced air) to a waiting ship.Barges are flat boats usually of shallow draft that carry frieght,up and down rivers.Dock tugs are just that,tugs.They move ships into position at the docks.What was the length of a transatlantic crossing in the 1500's, 1600's, 1700's and the 1800's?
