If a loll situation is confirmed:
- Take action to lower G (reduce KG)
(It would be impractical to consider shifting weights on board using ship’s lifting equipment at sea. If the ship has high ballast tanks that are full then these may be emptied, discharging ballast from the high side tank first – the greater vertical distance between G of the ship and g of the weight being discharged will ensure that the greatest lowering of G will take place in the first instance. Once the high side tank is empty the one on the low side may then be emptied.)
Empty high up ballast tank on the high side first to ensure greatest lowering of G
