• Description:
  The third installment of our series on stability (CFN) October 2003, page 22A), we discussed heeling and right moments. One reader pointed out that in a capsize event the center of gravity (COG) would move to the side of the vessel because of a shifting load. This situation is true in the case of flooding or the shifting of unsecured loads in the hold such as fish and ide. However, fishing vessels develop stability problems for reasons other than flooding and a vessel can capsize without flooding or the shifting of unsecured loads in the hold such as fish and ice.
