What is Quaying?

Quaying refers to the process of mooring a ship or boat at a quay, which is a structure along a wharf or pier where vessels can dock and unload cargo. The term "quay" comes from the Old Norse word "kaj," meaning "wharf."

When a ship is quayed, it is secured to the quay using lines or cables, and the crew may use fenders or other devices to keep the vessel in place while it is being loaded or unloaded. Quaying is an important part of port operations, as it allows vessels to safely and efficiently load and unload cargo and passengers.
