Anchorages in the Maldives

Charted anchorages for small craft and larger vessels, with the category the chart gives them.

An anchorage is a stretch of sea the chart sets aside for vessels to lie at anchor. Most are in the waters around Malé, each for one kind of vessel: small craft, dry cargo, tankers, naval vessels, quarantine, or ships waiting to berth. For reference, not for navigation.
