I would definitely agree with you in regards to the stability. Shore computer stowage of containers or sudden port rotation change? It would have been interesting watching a turn!

Rolling
Mv Wanstead In Ballast Could Roll Like A Barrel On North Atlantic Winter Runs, But Never Seeing It Fom Ashore, So Hard To Compare, I Know It Went On For Days, Looking At This Is Scary, Feel Sorry For Todays Crews, Living In Tower Blocks, Imagine How It Must Be On The Bridge, The Higher U Go , The Worse The Roll. At Least We Were More Or Less Main Deck Level,(eek)

The clue was in the video - Taranaki. Beam on to a big swell. There is a lot of swell induced movement alongside as well; popping mooring lines is very common.

Taranaki has a great reputation for good surf from big swells. I live there and enjoy going down to the port and watch big ships coming in, while giving the wife a running commentary as to what they are doing, what the tugs do etc, etc. Great video though, haven't seen that degree of rolling!
