To determine departure stability in Brunswick, the crew checked vessel drafts and physically sounded fuel, freshwater, and ballast tanks. These manual measurements verified digital readings from the Integrated Monitoring Alarm and Control System, known as IMACS, which tracks internal tank levels.
The chief officer manually keyed this data into the ship's loading computer to calculate the vessel's vertical center of gravity and initial stability. The computer generated a positive metacentric height (GM) of 2.45 meters, leading the bridge team to assume the vessel satisfied all mandatory stability criteria.
