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.
