Measures to reduce the volumetric heeling moment of
filled and partly filled cargo compartments
By use of longitudinal divisions these are required to be grain tight and of an approved scantling.
By means of a saucer and bundling bulk a saucer shape is constructed of bulk bundles in the hatch square of a filled compartment. The depth of the saucer being established between 1.3 and 1.4 m depth dependent on the ships beam, below the deck line.
By overstowing in a partly filled compartments achieved by trimming the surface level flat and covering with a separation cloth then tightly stowing
bagged grain to a depth of one sixteenth the depth of the free grain stow.
