What is NOT an advantage of filler cargo?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Overcarriage is reduced or eliminated.
Filler cargo, such as dunnage or other materials used to fill voids in the cargo hold, is not an advantage for reducing overcarriage. Overcarriage refers to the excess cargo carried beyond the vessel's capacity, which can lead to stability issues and other safety concerns. Filler cargo, on the other hand, helps maximize the utilization of the hold space and reduces the amount of empty voids, which are advantages of using filler cargo. The other options, A) reduced dunnage costs and D) filling voids in the cargo stow, are correct advantages of using filler cargo.
