Stability of passenger vessels
Stability of passenger vesssels.
Heading in a document about the effect on a vessel's stability when passengers are packed into one side.
I'm looking for something more "technical" sounding than "squeezing in", "packing", "compacting".
Any suggestions out there?

Comment: "Thanks. The one word I hadn't thought of - and the clue to plenty of hits on "crowding of passengers and intact stability", technical enough for the Marine Safety Directorate (www.tc.gc.ca/MarineSafety/Directorate/TP/TP10405/Tp10405e.htm), technical enough for me!"
