Only 3 tons over the top?? Come on, if they are going to use that as an excuse it needs to be more than 3 tons, believe me.
If you actually read what has been said, you'll find the 3T is not a TOW problem, but a Trim one. In my previous outfit, ~2T of Fuel error in the A340 Tail Tank caused a similar problem - but with no damage etc., just a change of underwear required.
Apparently there was an unaccounted 3 Tonnes in the bulk cargo hold
Suspect the opposite? 3 Tonnes in Bulk on the loadsheet, not there in reality...?
