dear all,

i have a charter party bill of lading covering shipment of wheat. the BL shows "Shipped on Board and safe trimmed". what is safe trimmed?

regards

berry

the leveling of bulk cargoes

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.
