Loading goods finally using tug (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stowing

'loading' is the definition.
('stow' can be a synonym of 'load')

'goods finally using tug' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'using tug' becomes 'towing' (to tow is to tug).
The last letter of 'goods' is 's'.
's'+'towing'='STOWING'

(Another definition for stowing that I've seen is " Packing or storing away".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
