Tugboat Ship Stability

tugboat is a marine vessel that manoeuvres other vessels by pushing or pulling them, with direct contact or a tow line. These boats typically tug ships in circumstances where they cannot or should not move under their own power, such as in crowded harbors or narrow canals, or cannot move at all.

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.
