🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse stability when loading bulk grain • Effect of shifting cargo on vessel list • Purpose and timing of trimming grain during loading

💭 Think About

• Which option actually changes how much weight is going to port vs. starboard during loading, rather than just hoping the grain moves on its own? • At what point in the loading process is it safest and most effective to correct a list: early while loading, at final trimming, or after cargo is already fully in place? • Does any choice rely on a system that most ships may not have, versus a standard procedure used in grain loading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which action will actively control where incoming grain lands in the hold? • Which choice depends on cargo leveling naturally without intentional correction? • Which option is related to final small adjustments rather than correcting a developing list during loading?
