SHIP
STABILITY, DRAFT
& TRIM CALCULATIONS FOR OFFSHORE VESSELS and WINDOWS
A
simple to use but
powerful ship stability program for the IBM PC and compatibles running
Windows.
The program is written specifically for Offshore Supply, Anchor
Handling and
AHTS vessels. Written with the user in mind, PC
OFFSHORE STABILITY for
WINDOWS gives easy selection of functions with user
friendly input boxes
and buttons.
Each
copy of the program
is customised to a specific vessel, with details and data from that
vessel’s
stability book included in the program. In particular the program
includes the
following additional features not found in our standard stability
programs:
- All data is entered and
stored already in the program for the vessel concerned (simply supply
us with a copy of the vessel’s stability book).
- Trimmed hydrostatic data
is used, which is essential for accuracy on offshore vessels.
- Tank data is
interpolated, for very accurate free surface corrections.
- Cargo types can be chosen
as standard or pipe, with the entrapped water calculation for pipes
being carried out automatically.
- A customised manual is
supplied with each copy of the program.
The program is designed
around a simple menu system for ease of use. Ship data may be in metric
or
Imperial units.
For
each vessel the program can accommodate a maximum of:-
- 99 Cargo/Stores
spaces.
- 99
Tanks.
- 99 Draft &
Displacement Data points.
- 99 Draft &
Safety criteria
(Deadweight Moments, Maximum KG, Minimum GM) points.
