Stowage Planning
Autoship Systems Corporation Stowage Planning Systems do far more than just model how cargo will fit in your vessels: they handle any cargo you transport, all voyages, all ports, and all your vessels; they are global information systems that permit both long-range and immediate planning; they incorporate your existing bookings database, and bring shipping operations fully into your supply chain management system.
Central to our stowage planning software is our concept of the electronic stowage plan, or Stowage Plan File. The stowage plan file is the repository for all information associated with your stowage simulation for a particular vessel and voyage.
