Why do ships always seem to be pouring water from the side?

I always see ships that seem to be shooting water from the hull, why do they do this?

Is it water sucked in by the engine for cooling purposes which is then pumped back overboard?

u always need to hose the mess off during the trip, so an always on hose comes in handy
