If it's just a load of softwood then that'll be a bit unfortunate.
Whatever it is, everyone will want to be careful not to clout any of it.

This is probably a very thick question - feel free to ignore if it is but assuming this is a cargo ship - how do they "hove to" as said in the above link? Or is it that they use the expression to denote halting the boat?
