What is Mooring?

A mooring is any permanent structure to which a vessel may be secured. Examples include quays, wharfs, jetties, piers, anchor buoys, and mooring buoys. A ship is secured to a mooring to forestall free movement of the ship on the water.

What factors affect drag?

Drag is influenced by other factors including shape, texture, viscosity (which results in viscous drag or skin friction ), compressibility, lift (which causes induced drag ), boundary layer separation, and so on
