This is why, despite the fact that I already had a deck officer's license, before I was permitted to sail as a mate on tankers I had to take a 4-week course specifically on loading and discharging tankers. Tremendous bending moments can be built up if care is not taken to properly distribute the cargo in the tanks. The hulls of all ships bend, but they can only bend so much before they break.
