Hydrostatics & Stability Software
Autoload®
is a type approved stability and longitudinal strength
loading instrument software. Used around the world,
Autoload is installed on virtually every type
of vessel - ro-ro, container, bulk, semi-submersibles,
coast guard, naval, cruise, fishing, survey, tanker...
and more!
Autoload Stability uses a complete
3D model of the vessel, identical to the model used
for creating the approved stability booklet. The model
includes all buoyant parts of the vessel, including
tanks and void spaces. The non-buoyant superstructure
is used for wind calculations.
Designed to meet IMO loading instrument
requirements, Autoload Stability enables vessel
operators to perform proper trim, stability and strength
calculations for any load condition before leaving port
and at any time while at sea. The main window shows
profile, plan, and body plan views of the ship in the
loaded condition, as well as calculated hydrostatic
values. Autoload Stability calculates stability
as fuel and consumables are used, makes use of optimal
ballast, and evaluates strength and stability in an
intact, damaged or grounded condition. A comparison
of the vessel condition can be made against preset strength
and stability limits. All calculation results are derived
from first principles, and therefore results are true
at any displacement and at any angle of trim or heel.
