Station-keeping in a nautical situation is when a vessel is to:

  • maintain a position in relation to another moving vessel or vessels, such as when
  • conducting underway replenishment or
  • part of a task force or convoy
  • maintaining a fixed position in relation to a fixed object or
  • patrolling a defined sector in relation to a fixed object.
