The act of a vessel unintentionally hanging the seabed or different submerged object presents important hazards to navigation. Stopping such incidents requires a multi-faceted method encompassing cautious planning, diligent execution, and steady monitoring of the vessel’s place relative to surrounding depths.
Avoiding these incidents is paramount for the protection of the vessel, its crew, and the surroundings. Groundings can result in hull injury, air pollution, and potential lack of life. Traditionally, groundings have been a significant reason for maritime accidents, underscoring the important want for efficient preventative measures.
