A system for assessing vessel stability includes a weight sensor, a data storage device, a locator, and a display device. The system provides real-time weight and position data for each cargo aboard the vessel in relation to the vessel's cargo areas. The display device may be used by the vessel Captain to assess the stability of the vessel, for instance, during loading and unloading of cargoes when the vessel is near a rig. The weight and position data may alternatively be sent to the vessel stability computer system to assist in determining the vessel stability.
