The paper introduces a technique by which the hull girder shear forces and bending moments can be minimised, based on the equality of the moments of higher order of the weight and buoyancy forces. Cargo hold weights determined on the basis of these equalities can be shown to result to minimum bending moments and shear forces. The proposal is illustrated in the simplified case of a barge and a 24000 tdw bulk carrier.
