THE Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) emphasized the critical role of load line marking in ensuring vessel safety and stability and conducted training for its surveyors.

Marina Deputy Administrator for Operations Engr. Nannette Villamor-Dinopol stated: 'Load line marking is as crucial as the structural integrity of a vessel. It not only indicates sufficient reserve buoyancy but is also essential for calculating the ship's stability.'
