Ship Loading Software – United Arab Emirates

Aries Energy provides Specialized Ship Loading Software which provides an integrated and user-friendly system for load planning and loading calculations offering numerous functions and facilities for safe and efficient ship operation.

The Loading Software provides a wide range of modules for onboard and office use. It is designed to operate on an interactive graphical environment. The user always works on the actual vessel plan, screens are self-explanatory, have a consistent format and provide quick access to the information required to perform a given task. It is suitable for use onboard, as well as in office as a standalone system.

The Ship Loading Software is type approved by all major Classification Societies. The Loading Software itself offers a variety of modules. In addition to Statutory Requirements, a wide range of ship operator needs and safety aspects (e.g. Emergency Response) are covered. Specialized versions are available for all ship types, handling aspects specific to each ship type.

FAQ

Yes. The system is intended to meet the IMO requirement that new and existing oil and chemical tankers be fitted with an approved stability instrument — new tankers built on or after 1 January 2016 must comply on delivery, and existing tankers built before that date must comply by their first scheduled renewal survey after 1 January 2016, but no later than 1 January 2021. The software is type approved by all major classification societies.

Yes. Aries Energy’s Loading Computer System is designed to operate on board a vessel as well as in an office as a standalone system, allowing the same loading calculations to be reviewed or prepared by shore-based operations or technical staff, not only by the vessel’s crew.

Yes. The system performs damage stability checking against predefined limiting curves, in addition to intact stability analysis using GZ-Theta graphical stability curves and automatic IMO-criteria selection based on load type.

Aries Energy offers dedicated versions of its Loading Computer System for eight vessel categories: bulk carriers and dry cargo ships, tankers, LNG carriers, offshore support vessels, Ro-Ro and passenger ships, container ships, chemical ships, LPG ships, and floating cranes. - Customer Intent: Procurement / Engineering
