Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Unstowed

👉 The term "unstowed" in the context of maritime law generally refers to an act or practice that involves a ship being unladen, i.e., without its cargo loaded on board. This can be accomplished by removing the weight from the vessel's hull and deck, typically through means such as lifting, pulling, or pumping. Unstowing is often used in situations where the ship is not equipped with sufficient capacity to carry all of its cargo, or when it is necessary for safety reasons.
