209. Which is the principal reason that barges and vessels are ballasted before departure?
Barges and vessels are ballasted before departure primarily to improve stability by lowering the center of gravity and increasing draft, ensuring safe operation and resistance to capsizing; this is distinct from environmental regulations, tank cleaning, or causing free surface effects.
