That makes alot of sense, since while in space there is no gravity, the cargo still has mass (it just has no weight). So if you rapidly move the cargo within the ship the *mass* of the cargo will cause an effect on the ship (according to Newtions law which basically says actio = reactio). You can turn the ship by moving the cargo around. You just can not accelerate it, since that would requiring catapulting your cargo away from the ship which would work but would not be very ... uhm... profitable.
