those car and container ships look awfully top heavy to me. Me too. Also, ferry ships are prone to free surface effect due to their large car decks that would allow any water that is taken on to slosh around and make the ship even more unstable. This thing is probably like a ferry times-10.

those car and container ships look awfully top heavy to me. It's called the center of gravity.
As long as it's far enough down, there ain't no problem.
Cars actually don't weigh that much considering.
