Funny, Smithsonian channel on Dish just ran a show about a bulk carrier, empty, had about 5 of those cranes for a size comparison, coming from somewhere in Europe (empty) over to Canada to pick up something like 200,000 tons of grain. Seems the entrance from the East into the waterway they were to use....don't think it was the St. Lawrence seaway, was a dangerous spot due to conflicting currents and storms and she broke in half...said bulk carriers were prone to do that and explained what the hull goes through in a ship of the sort, especially when empty....like a cork bobbing on the ocean.
I do know that some ships fill their tanks/holds with seawater for ballast to aid in preventing such from happening. Hmmmm....seems like a mess transitioning from salt water to the intended cargo!!!!!!
