I realize that different containers will weigh different amounts, but what, exactly, is the problem with starting in each of the 4 corners and yanking containers off as evenly as possible to lighten the load? I'm assuming there's some method used in loading to make sure the deck is level. Use that, and adjust the offloading as necessary to keep the ship from listing. Man loaded the ship without capsizing it, man should be able to offload without capsizing it.
I'll leave it to engineers and maritime experts to figure out the mechanics of offloading the containers.
Explain why my plan is flawed.
