Massive cargo ships stop at sea using two primary methods: first, by flipping their massive propellers into reverse to generate reverse thrust that counteracts momentum, and second, by dropping heavy anchors (weighing thousands of kilos) to provide additional braking force; unlike land vehicles, ships require miles of open water to come to a complete halt due to their enormous mass and inertia.

How Do You Stop a 100,000-Ton Cargo Ship? π’βAdded:
Ever wonder how you stop 100,000 [music] tons of steel? Ain't no brakes out here.
First, you got to flip those massive propellers into reverse.
That is reverse [music] thrust, shifting the tide to kill the momentum.
Unlike a wagon on a trail, [music] this takes miles to reach a full halt.
In a pinch, they drop the big guns, a chain weighing thousands of kilos.
