Grounding is one of many possible accidents that a vessel encounters. This happens when the bottom of the ship touches the seabed. The damage can be minor or it can lead to a severe oil spill.
To avoid this, bridge officers can check the paper charts or ECDIS (for paperless vessels) for the depth and sounding of water. While the vessel is in port, the ship’s crew may use a sounding lead to measure the depth of water.
