Aries Marine provides Specialized Ship Loading Software which provides an integrated and user-friendly system for load planning and loading calculations offering numerous functions and facilities for safe and efficient ship operation.
The Loading Software provides a wide range of modules for onboard and office use. It is designed to operate on an interactive graphical environment. The user always works on the actual vessel plan, screens are self-explanatory, have a consistent format and provide quick access to the information required to perform a given task. It is suitable for use onboard, as well as in office as a standalone system.
The Ship Loading Software is type approved by all major Classification Societies. The Loading Software itself offers a variety of modules. In addition to Statutory Requirements, a wide range of ship operator needs and safety aspects (e.g. Emergency Response) are covered. Specialized versions are available for all ship types, handling aspects specific to each ship type.
