Look on the side of any ship to see what are called "Draft Marks," which indicate at a glance how much ship is below the waterline. Buoyancy changes cause change in the waterline; removal of weight/containers does lighten the ship "Lightering," but how to position cranes to lift those ceu's?
I did not know this... I’m no merchant marine but any sort... I would just assume taking weight would raise the vessel... but apparent I am incorrect. Thanks for the info

No, you got it right - maybe my explanation was confusing. Removing weight (containers) does raise the ship.
