Exegesis
The first hina-clause, hina ploiarion proskarterē autō {ἵνα πλοιάριον προσκαρτερῇ αὐτῷ | hína plo-i-á-ri-on pros-kar-te-rḗ au-tô}, uses the present subjunctive proskarterē to portray continuous readiness of the small boat at His disposal, expressing purpose.
In context — Mark 3:9
And He said to His disciples, “Have a small boat kept ready for Him because of the crowd , so that they might not crush Him.”
