Simply making it so that heavy containers go high and light ones low would likely not affect the ship until it it hits bad weather. The load is still centered on the ship at the dock, so it would not list. The total weight is still correct, so the ship is the right depth in the water. However, the loading crew might not even notice a modest list. The EL FARO, while loading before its fatal trip into a hurricane, had a bit of a list. The loading crew didn’t notice, but someone else at the port took a photo[1], emailed it to the relevant people, and got it fixed.
