CONT

L'embossage est une technique de mouillage qui consiste à ajouter un mouillage à l'arrière du bateau en plus de l'ancre principale à l'avant. Cette méthode permet de maintenir le bateau dans son axe, en particulier dans des zones où il est impossible d'éviter, comme les fleuves. L'embossage est souvent utilisé lorsque le bateau est très proche des côtes ou lorsque les environs sont encombrés.
