Loading & Stowage
Deck Cargo Stowage Planning System
ASC’s real-time, integrated, and intuitive Deck Loading/Cargo Management Systems give your company the ability to greatly improve loading and stowage planning; easily update, modify, synchronize, and share your plans; and instantly check on status and progress. Companies can use these systems to plan, model, and track stowage of any type of cargo – bulk oil stowage, point weights, distributed weights, containers, etc. Real-time planning and operations are integrated in a common interface, improving safety and efficiency at every stage.
Features that make such stowage plans possible include:
- Sophisticated graphics with both global and highly detailed displays of all your stowage areas.
- Synchronization – at any stage in the process – between planned and actual loading/stowage data.
- Cargo grouping in the interface according to customer needs (for example, POL, POD, Shipper, cargo type, hazardous material classifications, deck limitations, etc).
- Automatic Stowage Checks for IMDG segregation, deck height, weight, pressure, area limitations, cargo space conflicts across time, unstackable cargo, etc.
- The ability to deal with large quantities of cargo quickly and easily, but also to perform fine adjustments to individual cargo items.
- Organized information display based on parameters that matter to your company.
- Highly accessible stowage data – when and where you need it.
- Graphic and tabular reports at any stage, tailored to your requirements.
- Cargo space utilization data by deck, cargo type, and by percent of total available.
- Tailorable stowage rules for use in automatic stowage operations.
- Flexible standardized stowage patterns for consistent and predictable combinations of factors.
- A basic hydrostatic information window, and links to the full Autoload® hydrostatics engine.
