🌟 Spotlight: Rike J

The Rike J is a large container vessel now operating with the latest version of LOCOPIAS, equipped with specialised tools designed for the demands of modern container operations.

Beyond its comprehensive stability and loading capabilities, the Rike J benefits from:

🔹 IMDG Verification
LOCOPIAS automatically checks all loaded containers for IMDG classifications (dangerous goods). Incompatible cargo combinations are flagged instantly, supporting safe and compliant stowage planning in line with international regulations.

🔹 DNV-based Lashing Control
The software verifies all lashing configurations according to the latest DNV rules. This prevents exceedance of allowable forces and provides the crew with real-time insight into safe stowage and securing arrangements.

With these advanced modules, the Rike J demonstrates how LOCOPIAS supports complex container operations with precision, compliance, and ease of use — enabling crews to make informed decisions efficiently from planning to departure.
