This video shows how to calculate the ship's swing radius when she is anchored. It includes several reasons why we need to calculate and determine the ship's drag circle while at anchor.
The ship's swing radius when anchored refers to the circular area or distance around a vessel within which it can swing or rotate while anchored. When a ship drops anchor, it is subject to the forces of wind, current, and tide, causing it to pivot around its anchor point. The swing radius is the maximum distance that the vessel can swing in any direction from its anchored position without encountering obstacles or other vessels. #Anchorage #SwingRadius #Calculation
