The tentative stowage plan is a guide to load the ship. when the ship is completely loaded, the stowage of the cargo will never be precisely the same. there are always some differences between the tentative stowage plan and the actual plan wich is called the final stowage plan. thaht is why it is necessary to construct a final stowage plan as the ship is loaded, compartment by compartment.
The final stowage plan must show the actual stowage of th ship in detail. it must clarify the vertical, longitudinal and transverse limits of all ports and the individual marks of each lot of cargoes.
The final plan is used by the stevedore of the discharging port to plan the discharging operation. the ship's officers use it to know the stowage of their ship, so that in case of any emergency they can estimate the seriousness of the situation and plan the action to handle it.
The master of the ship uses it to calculate the metacentric height and the apropriate bending moment. therefore if the final stowage plan is not complete, accurate and clear, the discharging operation of the ship will not be efficient and the safety of the ship is not certain.
