just to add;

When loading a ship, trimming involves leveling the bulk cargo rather than letting it remain in a steep, conical pile. This procedure enables a full cargo to be loaded. if the cargo is not properly trimmed, it would create a strain which is very dangerous for ships in violent weather.
