During loading

13 Ballast operations need to be synchronized with loading operations as laid down and agreed in the loading plan required under SOLAS regulation VI/7.3. Ballast and loading operations should be carried out in a controlled manner in accordance with the loading plan and the provisions of BLU Code.

14 If at any time during loading the safe operational limits of the ship are exceeded, or likely to become so if the loading continues, the ship master has the right to suspend loading operations in order to take corrective actions (see SOLAS regulation VI/7.7).
