As
an IT Company, we have developed spreadsheet
based files that have customised cargo work
calculations (Oil Software) for crude oil and
product tankers. Our standalone products
(oil software) are designed for the business of
shipping cargo (chemicals, oil or products) via
shipping vehicles (tankers) or storing them
ashore or in floating storage units (FPSO).
We prefer to work with Microsoft Excel (images
in site are snapshots of Lotus 1-2-3 files).
The
latest products are standalone with a backend
database storing the manual entries for each
port of call. The database can be used to
produce all kinds of MLI statistical analysis.
Entries by user would be:
Cargo Ullages and temperatures
tank-wise;
Gauge readings/Soundings of ballast tks;
Fuel/FW Tks Qty;
Sp. Gr. of Sea Water;
Interface sounding for free water, if
any;
V.E.F.;
OBQ/Slops on board, if any;
API and/or Density;
Tables required (6, 24 or 54 A/B);
(selectable by mouse click)
etc.
The results are transferred to the
following with tabulated and/or chart
representations and may be printed at
will.
Backsolve
to required - Nett MT, Barrels, DWT or Draft;
Change SW
density - same cargo/ballast;
A
scratchpad for quick conversion from degrees F'ht to C,
Ft to M and vice versa with resultant DWT for that Ft or
M.
Also
included is the extremely powerful and much used (by the
Chief Officers), add-in called
Solver. Solver
provides an optimal solution to various loading/discharging
scenarios in a matter of seconds.
Example:
You have a nominated BL Qtty of 630,000 Nett Barrels of
Oseberg crude oil Blend to load from Sture (Salt water) for
discharge at Immingham (brackish). With the given bunker
ROBs and load temperatures, draft restrictions, Solver can
find a loading distribution to satisfy the given constraints
which would be - no list, even keel arrival, volumes <= 98%,
minimum stresses, etc.
We offer to write a similar customized spreadsheet for a
fee, for any tanker operator/owner who may get in touch with
us by e-mail for a sample spreadsheet at:
