Engineering that owners, class and flag can rely on.

ShipLCOM is Normship’s in-house loading computer, developed with practical ship operation in mind. Version 3.0 reproduces the ship’s approved trim and stability booklet for any condition the master builds: intact stability and criteria, longitudinal strength, damage stability, grain, load line and the cargo-related checks.

What it covers

• Ship Data Booklet & Test Case Booklet preparation
• Stability, strength and loading condition verification
• Cargo modules for bulk carriers, general cargo, container feeders, steel and project cargo

The instrument is built so crews and superintendents can work with it confidently, while class and flag receive the documentation they expect. ShipLCOM is in use on 250+ vessels worldwide and approved by ABS, BV, DNV, KR, LR, NK, RINA and TL.

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.

Typical NAPA deliverables

• Hydrostatics, cross curves and tank calibration
• Intact, grain and damage stability calculations
• Source data preparation for loading instruments
• Booklet updates after lightweight or arrangement changes

As an official NAPA user, Normship keeps the underlying model consistent across every study, so updates stay fast and traceable.

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.

Areas of work

• Intact and grain stability assessment
• Damage stability applicability and SOLAS regime checks
• Lightweight change and inclining experiment evaluation
• Special operational and heavy-cargo cases

The goal is always a result that is defensible technically and clear for everyone who has to sign off on it.

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.

Design support includes

• Hull form input and general arrangement support
• Freeboard planning and load line items
• Equipment number and anchoring/mooring outfitting
• Structural scantling support and class-ready documentation

Each package is prepared so it moves smoothly into detailed design and class approval.
