LOCOPIAS

Intact stability

Verify compliance with regulatory limits of intact stability.

Longitudinal strength

Verify compliance with regulatory limits of longitudinal strength.

Torsion moments

Verify compliance with regulatory limits of torsion (bending) moments.

Damage stability

Verify compliance with regulatory limits of damage stability.

Grain/bulk

Define grain and dry bulk holds by volume, weight, ullage, or percentage. Position moveable grain bulkheads and tween deck panels.

Containers

Allows interactive container positioning. contains numerous container specific loading options, like electronic loading data exchange.

General cargo

Intended for project cargo of any non-standard dimension. Enables exporting 2D cargo stowage plans of any horizontal section.

Pipe stack

Define open pipes as deck cargo, for example for off-shore supply vessels. The module can take water trapped in pipes into account as well.

RoRo

Define open pipes as deck cargo, for example for off-shore supply vessels. The module can take water trapped in pipes into account as well.

Cranes

Load cargo with one or two (coupled) cranes. The exact location of the hanging loads are taken into account. Tank counter-ballasting is supported.

Tank sounding

Calculate the volume and weight of a tank's content accurately. The module can optionally communicate with automatic draft and tank gauge systems.

Hatches

Keep track of the use of tween deck hatches, incorporating their weight in all loading conditions. Hatches may possibly also be used as grain bulkheads.

Anchor chain forces

Keep track of maximum allowable anchor chain forces during anchor handling, according to the NMD (2007) or Bureau Veritas (2014) guidelines.

Draft survey

Calculates cargo weight based on measured drafts or freeboards before and after cargo handling. Ballast water and consumables can be taken into account.

Line of sight

Comply with line of sight criteria as stipulated by IMO regulations. Integrates neatly with the modules General cargo and Containers.

Following seas

High quartering and following seas may inflict immediate danger to a vessel. This module assists in avoiding dangerous speeds or courses.

Damage control

Check the vessel's stability in a predefined or real damaged condition. The module can verify against criteria for several stages of flooding.

Ice accretion

Calculates the weight and COG of the ice accretion for stability calculations by taking the ship's outer layout into consideration.

IMDG

The IMDG code extension in the LOCOPIAS assists in the loading of dangerous cargo by real time validation against the IMDG requirements.

Ballast advice

This feature 'plays' with the ballast quantities in order to get that fixed after the user specifies the goal and boundary conditions. 

BAPLIE

With the BAPLIE option, you can read and write container data files with the BAPLIE-format (up till the most recent version).

Tanks reading

With this option the tank volumes, and possibly other data, are automatically read from the tank measurement system which is used on board.

Monitoring

With this module you can set an interval for reading out all tanks, calculating and updating all data in the main screen.
