Yep, again a very over dramatized simple process of loading a ship. Everybody knows way before hand how low the ship can set in the water, this didn't come through the newspaper to them today as a surprise. every one knows they have to load evenly, they knew this 14 years ago when they started. Embarrassing to try to even get the guy to talk on camera as IF he is frightened by the entire scenario. HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING.

Me to, I saw that happen at a silo complex once and it was insane.

Loading ships this size causes a lot of bending stress to the hull. That's why the C/O has to be very carefull when drawing up his loading sequence plan. Obviously the ship should not be overloaded, but in principle most of the holds will be full so shifting of the cargo (the main risk with grain-Solas 74) will not occur or to a limited extent. The vessel's stability will be ok. The actual loading operations of this ship will be an issue as I noticed the cargo cannot be properly trimmed due to the fact that there's no loading spout, only a vertical pipe.

I had the privilege to sail great lakes one entire summer on MV Burns Harbor.(now named American Spirit)...anyway...in a little town in upper Michigan is a channel cut thru rock..called the rock cut.,(barbeau Michigan). all downbound ships must pass thru here. ALL ships load according to the daily depth of the rock cut.....they call coastgaurd while loading as a matter of fact...mvburns harbour has great lakes record for total weight thru passage.....we went thru with bottom clearance of...00.25 inch.. no lie...no bullshit...a freaking quarter of inch...that's why in late fall , early winter if you see ship covered in ice going down bound and crew trying to sledge hammer ice off...there getting ready to go thru the rock cut..if you enjoy ship watching..go to barbeau Michigan...ask for directions to rock cut...or better yet , drive half mile passed neebish island ferry dock...park in church lot..walk across Street , thru 100yards of woods ....Walla........water and the rock cut... sturgeon bay Wisconsin has a channel similar...fyi

It's draught, and grain can change weight depending on how much it has dried out, atmospheric conditions etc. The buoyancy of the water changes with temperature as well. They have time to kill whilst loading and shipping is not a forgiving industry. Far better to be antiquated and KNOW, than have a program make a mistake and rip your hull open.

By my calculation 30,000 tons of grain is around 95,250,000,000 calories. A human needs about 500,000 a year to survive, so around 190,000 people could survive for a year without food!

This loading process can potentially lead to explosion mostly I thinkthat once the grain is loaded and still it is relatively safe but when it is moved one must considere that grain dust that in the right concentration in the air is explosive grain elevators here in the Prairies have exploded and burned because of that dust of course a metal ship may not burn quite as easely normally but that grain dust in the right concentration can be explosive

This process looks very slow and inefficient. Why don't they pack the grain in containers first ? Everyone knew containers shipping are fast and efficient. if the containers are properly seal, even if the ship capsize at the port. The grain in the containers will not be damage and can be recovered. A 30,000 ton of grain loss would lead to famine in some poor countries.

they unload by tipping it out

That this be 30.000 or 100.000 tons I think the total mass does not make this grain more dangerous as far as fire goes once it is sitting still in the ship I do no think it emits much fumes when it is still unlike crude oil grain dust is the dangerous think created when you move and handle grain
