Human Factors; Company Policy; Procedure
Captain [on flight XXX] called and said the ZZZ -ZZZ1 leg is delayed because ZZZ ramp unloaded some haz[Hazmat] meant for ZZZ1. When the ramp opened F1; it was full of freight not accounted for on the ZZZ2 -ZZZ [inbound flight] weight and balance. I contacted the Duty Officer; and she recommended the crew fill out a report and contact company. I confirmed that recovery was notified. Crew informed delay is so weight and balance can be fixed in ZZZ to account for the extra freight.
Air Carrier Dispatcher reported the Captain notified Dispatch that a flight delay was required to correct a Weight & Balance discrepancy. During the correction process the Hazmat cargo had to be moved to complete the Weight & Balance adjustment.
