A document listing things to be done and exercises to be carried out on a merchant ship in terms of safety. One of the things that those in charge on board have to do is:
Pianificare e condurre [a certain type of exercise] immediatemente dopo l'assunzione dell'assetto di Navigazione e quindi almeno settimanale.
Most of the refs I've found to the term refer to shipwrecks, whereas this one is alive and kicking.

sailing trim
"Trim" basically means balance for best travel efficiency.
Example sentence:
Leader is rigged as she would have been when first built, as a gaff ketch. She is 80' long on deck, and 105' overall. She displaces about 110 tonnes in sailing trim. She has a beam of 19'6" and a draft of 10'.

It seems that these exercises should be carried out immediately after the ship has adjusted the trim (probably for safety reasons).

trimming
assetti di navigazione: superfice - affioramento - quota periscopio - quota profonda
Per ognuno degli assetti esposti ,va regolata, la quantità di acqua di mare nelle varie casse, tale operazione è denominata "Trimming"
A ship floating at equal draught all along is said to be on an even keel, or to have zero trim. If the fraughts are not the same from bow to stern, the ship is floting with a trim. Deeper draughts aft than forward result in trim by the stern. If the draught forward exceeds the draught aft, the condition is called trim by the head or bu the bow. The measure of the amount of trim is simply the difference between the after and forward draughts.
