The key here is to note that the load manifest records moment relative to the datum, an not relative to the initial CG.

Moment added equals mass added (500 kg) X moment arm from datum (16 m)

500 kg X 16 m equals 8000 kg m.

Using the approximation 1 kg equal 10 Newton's, 8000 kg m equals 80000 Nm.
