Normship gives shipowners, managers and design offices clean stability booklets, draft increase studies, NAPA-based calculations and class-ready documentation — engineered, not improvised.
What we do
From the first concept calculation to the loading instrument onboard — one office, consistent assumptions, class-ready output.
Loading Instrument Load more cargo in less time — every condition stays within class limits.
ShipLCOM is Normship's in-house loading computer, first delivered in 2003 and now at version 3.0. It reproduces the ship's approved trim and stability booklet for any loading condition — intact and damage stability, longitudinal strength, grain, cargo modules and class-oriented test case documentation.
Official NAPA User Approved booklets and draft studies, faster — numbers class accepts.
Normship performs stability and hydrostatic work with NAPA-based workflows, allowing efficient booklet updates, draft increase studies, grain stability, damage stability and loading instrument source data preparation.
Advanced Stability Solutions Pass intact, grain and damage stability the first time — no surprises at survey.
From intact and grain stability to damage stability applicability checks, lightweight change evaluation and special operational cases, Normship focuses on solutions that are technically correct and understandable for owners, class and flag.
Concept / Basic Design A class-ready design package that moves to detail design without rework.
Normship supports concept and basic design packages including hull form input, general arrangement support, freeboard planning, equipment number, structural scantling support and class-ready technical documentation.
Where Normship helps most
Freeboard, stability, strength, openings and loading limits — assessed together, with a clear approval route before full engineering.
