Question

Explain why in a cargo ship the load should not be taken over the deck​

Answer 1

Answer:

Why cargo is loaded in the lowest deck of the ship?

Loading a ship : Cargo is loaded in the lowest deck of a ship. This considerably lowers the CG and hence the turning moments of the weight also decrease. This increases the stability of the ship.

Answer 2

Explanation:

If the heavy lift is not secured properly, the cargo may shift during heavy weather which may result in heavy list at sea and may cause capsizing of the vessel. Also the heavy lift may cause damage to the vessel's structure and result into loss of the vessel's watertight integrity, resulting in flooding.
