Explain the effect of trim in ships on tank soundings?
Trim in ships refers to the difference in draft between the bow and stern of the vessel. When a ship has a trim, it can affect the accuracy of tank soundings because the liquid in the tanks may not be level due to the sloping nature of the ship. This can lead to misleading readings and potential errors in estimating cargo quantity. It is important for crew members to account for trim when taking tank soundings to ensure accurate measurements.
