I think this problem is missing data, for the load is transferred from a point to other (this one is missing).
Thanks

  -> Thanks Kim!
neutral  Refugio: This would be the ordinary meaning of the term. However, since stability and a fore/aft starting point for loading are mentioned, I wonder if this means, in this case, loaded to the rear of a line 46 feet forward of midline. Begin at the line, work aft?

  -> That is plausible speculation. Would you load starting from the front and work back or from the back and work forward? ;-)
