Loose Water or Fish on Deck

Fish left loose on deck have the same effect as water. Fish should be properly stowed in the hold as soon as possible to maintain stability.

 

When water is shipped on deck and unable to escape, it creates a large free surface. It also adds weight high in the vessel. Freeing ports (scuppers) are vital for removing shipped water and maintaining stability.
