Yeah, that's that's all we can do.

So you're gonna start us on arrival because it keeps changing.

I guess the first plan was excellent.

Way could go in and take.

Climate is impossible.

We need way.

Need time for ballast.

So usually it's Ah, good.

10 to 12 hours for us toe.

Get all about way can do our best.

There's only one option.

Always go in there is just going and pump the hell out of her.

They'll just have to pump very quickly.

Otherwise, they'll have to leave valuable cargo on the dock again.

What happened last time is when we had to stop for ballast.

They more or less kicked us off.

Died way.

Had to leave quite a lot.

About 3000 tons like that was, That's a lot a Z.

They tie up at the loading dock.

Their first priority is to get the ballast pumps going as fast as possible.

Usually they use just the two main pumps to start with.

The captain wants Matt Conrad, the mate on duty in cargo control, to get away.

Four on the go on, just when they need it.

Most trouble with this.

16 now.

0016 All right, Got it.

Okay.

Sixteens open.

So I'm good to go.

The Equinox finally starts discharging ballast into the harbor with everything she's got down in the engine room.

Chiefs rebuilt.

Pump is working better than it ever did.

It's coming.

Good now.

Way had 15 meters of water and now we've got three meters deck.

Crew checks their progress by dropping a sounding rod into the tanks to find out how much water is left over a meter in to starboard.

In a ship this big, even a few centimetres of ballast left in the tanks come mean, leaving thousands of tons of cargo on the dog.

Then some unexpected good news.

Yeah.

Loading leg is still busy with another vessel.

Gives the crew an extra six hours.

By the time the loader rumbles into place, the equinox is ready.

Nearly 3000 tons of iron hits the first hole, landing at one ton of second.

A hefty 29,500 tons is a full load.

Taking on iron pellets is problematic there four times heavier on load twice as fast as wheat, creating stresses that could break the ship.

Worst case scenario is you can actually crack in the hull plating or the internal structures and sink at the dock.

First mates.

Kirk Lake is relying on the low plan to spread the iron or keep them out of trouble.

We used old program, and that gives us our best information.

Okay, that's number 12.

Done.

Okay, there they go.

They're going up to number two now Play three on take and take up number two.

We're done in food after eight hours.

There's 2000 tons still left.

Kurt gets ready to distribute the last of the or pellets toe level out the ship, but outside, the temperature is dropping fast.

Permanent call anyway should get a premium cold weather premium.

I'm just getting the draft.

Determine what I'm gonna do.

Kirk's barely begun taking draft readings up and down the ship when he spots trouble reading show.

He's got a five centimeter sag in the middle of the ship.

Something's going wrong with the load plan.

Only the iron ore is so heavy it's bending the keel.

Now he has to think quickly to correct the sag in the middle.

He has to add cargo at both ends.

I'm going to use before, but too much weight at the ends could bend the keel the other way.

Reopens Hatch, 16 near the stern.

Hotch, they had already closed.

Never, ever have to take a job for 300 really?

Then he heads for the bow on loads.

More weight at the front door.

That's the plan.

An hour later, 45.

The plan seems to work.

He stopped the keel sagging.
