How to restore stability of a tanker, once it's gone to neutral or negative stability during loading / dischar

Answer 1

Pump ballast to keep the center of mass below the intersection of the axial and longitudinal support lines.

But what in hell is this doing in philosophy? I come over here from the Science and Math groups to get -away- from such questions for a while. Am I being stalked? ☺

Answer 2

Usually this is achieved by pumping ballast from one part of the ship to another during the operation. This ballast counteracts the weight gain/loss of the cargo and keeps the ship stable.

Answer 3

Do the math.
