anchor in the open harbo(u)r
UiO has this in the nynorsk definition for "red" at the first link: "I red m1 el. II rei f1 (lty re(i)de, eigl 'stad der eit skip blir reidd') ankerplass for skip utanfor ei hamn; open hamn det låg mange skip på r-en".
The "open hamn" put me onto "open harbour", examples of which are at the second link.
Finally, there's corroboration for the pair in one of the items listed in that search, a regulation from Strada Port Authority KF which is the source for the example sentence.

Okay, "roadstead' will work here. One of my digital dictionaries has:
roadstead |ˈrōdˌsted|
noun
a sheltered stretch of water near the shore in which ships can ride at anchor.
ORIGIN mid 16th cent.: from road + obsolete stead [a place.]
You can see examples of "anchor in the roadstead" at http://tinyurl.com/buwk7jj. I saw it along the way earlier (possibly in a pairing with "red") but discarded it.

Example sentence:
The regulation also applies to vessels which anchor and/or carry out disembarkation of passengers and/or cargo from the open harbour anchorage ("reden").
Note from asker:
| You're on the right track, Charles, but I think "open harbour" is not precise enough here. "leden" seems to be what is called "anchorage": "A place where ships drop anchor, away from shipping lanes, to wait until a loading or discharging berth becomes available or....." From what I can see it may be inside our outside the harbour area so long as it is out of the traffic fairway. Having said that, "ships that anchor/drop anchor in the anchorage" doesn't sound right either.... |
| Yes, or "moor in the anchorage area" . |
