Cargo shift is an important stability risk, but it is only part of the story. Despite extensive research, documented accidents caused by grain shifting appear to be rare, suggesting that grain-carriage rules have been effective.
Fatalities are more often linked to crew entering fumigated holds or spaces where the cargo has depleted oxygen. Safe grain shipping depends not only on stability calculations, but also on strict confined-space and cargo-handling safety practices.
