Jack up Barges Ship Loading Monitor

A Jack-Up Platform is a floating barge that has movable legs attached to the hull. These legs can be retracted and extended vertically, meaning that once it makes contact with the sea bed, the platform begins to move upwards and out of the water.

The hull on which these legs are built is water-tight, buoyant, and similar to a ship. It has ballast tanks, living spaces (if required), a bridge for operators to work from, and machinery for lowering and raising the legs. Jack Up refers to how the legs are jacked up or down.

ShipLOADMaster™ – is a software package for calculation of load, stability, strength, floatability for tankers, gas carriers, dry bulk cargo ships, container carriers, sea-river vessels, general cargo vessels, floating drilling platforms, floating dry docks, floating cranes and other types of floating structures.

ShipLOADMaster™  allows to:

  • Create loading and ballasting plan of the vessel in on-line mode and save it in the Database
  • Develop a ballasting scheme for the vessel (floating platform), based on specified draft
  • Calculate trim/heel, stability and strength of undamaged vessel in the current load status
  • Create a virtual model of emergency situation and calculate trim and stability when specified compartments are flooded
  • Calculate dock operations (arrangement of ships in the dock, ballasting and strength calculation)
  • Arrange integration of separate modules of the floating object with calculation of trim-stability at each step of enlargement.
