What does the term Trim mean on a ship?
The science of process of distribuiting weights (cargo, fuel, ballast, etc.) to ensure optimum trimming, and adequate stability. On a ship, trim is the difference between the forward draft and the after draft, however, when you refer to "trim and stability", the concept also refers to the concept of list (side to side inclination).

What is center of stability and why must it be above a ship's center of gravity?
A ship's center of stability is known as the metacentre. If you add weight to the side of a ship the moment created will cause it will roll. There has to be a restoring moment otherwise the ship will capsize. This restoring moment is due to the change in the submerged volume, hence change in center of buoyancy. This acts at the 'center of stability' where BM(distance from center of buoyancy to metacenter) = Inertia/DisplacementPicture a model of a yacht with a large weight attached to the mast. Now move the weight onto the keel. Which one do you think has the best stability?
