Cntslot: container slot definition
With this module the container slots of a ship can be defined. The defined slots can be used by the container loading module ( Graphical User Interface for container loading) and by Layout, the layout module of PIAS. It should be considered that the container slots are not essential for PIAS. It is a feature — working with the container module is experienced as pleasant — but nothing more. Finally, it should be mentioned that Cntslot has been made to define large sets of slots for standard containers (20', 30' and 40'). Odd-size slots (such as 48', 52' or transversely positioned containers) can also be defined, however, outside Cntslot.


This module originates from ±2000, and is currently (2018/2019) being redesigned and rewritten, for enhanced flexibility and user-friendliness. For the time being you can still use this module, however, for its manual please revert to a pre-2012 version.
