Plan the load list for a container vessel: distribute box weights across bays to hit the required departure draft marks and maintain adequate metacentric height (GM). Covers SOLAS Regulation II-1/22 stability requirements, the Trim and Stability Booklet, and the Chief Officer's cargo planning duties before every voyage.
Each puzzle mirrors the real decision tree a Chief Mate runs before departure: weight distribution, trim, and stability check before the loadicator sign-off. Direct preparation for the USCG Chief Mate exam cargo planning module.
