Forward this report to Panama, the Flag State for the Taharoa Express, and invite its comment on how it will address the safety issue where the stability computer on the ship was not capable of calculating the free surface effect of the free water in the cargo holds during the loading process, so that when the ship was forced to put to sea prematurely, the true stability of the ship could not be quickly and efficiently calculated.
