Urgently re-incline all ferries not re-inclined within four years
Recommendation
Not only should the SPIRIT class vessels be re-inclined, but all existing ferries that have not been re-inclined within the last 4 years should be re-inclined as a matter of urgency to assess their current lightship weights and centres of gravity. Thereafter they should be re-inclined at every special survey. These figures would then be available for use in the production of reliable trimmed envelope curves.
