ShipLCOM 3.0 — Loading Instrument
ShipLCOM reproduces, for any loading condition the master builds, the same calculations that are contained in the ship's approved trim and stability booklet — and answers immediately whether the condition is acceptable.
Every criterion of the selected stability code passes — areas under the GZ curve, GM, maximum GZ and the weather criterion.
Shear force and bending moment inside the class limits at every station, on harbour or seagoing envelopes.
The draft stays within the load line of the selected seasonal zone.
The blind sector ahead of the bridge stays within the SOLAS limit — recalculated the moment deck cargo is attached.
Modules
Modules follow the trade of the vessel — bulk carriers, general cargo and multipurpose ships, container feeders, steel and project cargo carriers, tankers.
GZ curve with the GM tangent, the criteria areas and the downflooding angle; every rule of the selected code — 2008 IS Code, grain, timber or a ship-specific set — listed with its actual value, its limit and PASS / FAIL. The severe wind and rolling criterion is evaluated with the real lateral silhouette, including attached deck cargo.
Still-water shear force and bending moment station by station against the class limit envelopes, in harbour and seagoing sets. Peaks are reported both as absolute values and as a percentage of what is allowed at that frame — the figure that actually decides the condition.
The approved damage cases of the ship, flooded by the lost-buoyancy method — optionally balanced directly on the 3D hull. Floating position, residual GZ and the applicable criteria set (SOLAS 2009, MARPOL, MSC.235(82) or the IACS UR S17 flooded-hold strength check) per case.
The cargo operation planned as steps, with drafts, trim and the BM / SF percentages calculated at every stage — because the highest bending moment usually occurs between the ballast and the loaded condition, not at the end. The plan can be agreed with the terminal before loading starts.
Bay / row / tier cell plan with colour modes, Quick Load, stack load check and IMDG segregation. BAPLIE files are imported and exported, and the deck stow enters the visibility check the moment it is attached.
Coils stowed bay by bay and tier by tier, with dunnage, and the line load each coil puts on the double bottom checked against the permissible deck load of the hold. Deck cargo, break bulk, heavy cargo, timber and pipe have their own 3D loaders on the same pattern.
Beyond the loading case
The hull, every tank at its current level and the attached cargo in three dimensions — with hydrostatics computed directly from the geometry, an eye view from the conning position for the visibility check, and volume and mesh checks for new ship data.
Loading Case 2.0 and Cargo Plan 2.0 reports, the grain form, the securing calculation, draft survey and calibration tables. The cover page carries the ship, the voyage and the four verdicts as badges — the program never silently accepts a bad condition.
The full International Grain Code calculation — trimmed, untrimmed, partially untrimmed and secured stows, each with its own volumetric heeling moment — and the grain form printed for the authorities.
IMO CSS Code Annex 13 balances — transverse sliding, tipping, longitudinal sliding — for every deck cargo unit, with a separate signed securing calculation.
Calibration tables produced from the ship’s own 3D geometry, for sounding pipe or remote sensor, with live volume read-out.
Cargo quantity from the drafts at the marks: perpendicular and hog / sag corrections, trim and density corrections, deductibles and the ship’s constant.
A searchable manual is part of the program — every topic printable on board, kept with the ship database.
Approvals
ShipLCOM installations are classified under IACS UR L5 — up to Type 3, with damage stability by direct calculation. Every installation is ship-specific: hydrostatics, cross curves, tank calibration, limit curves and strength limits are taken from the vessel's approved documentation, delivered with test conditions and the class approval certificate.
Send the vessel particulars — we'll build the installation on the ship's approved data and support the class approval, including the Ship Data and Test Case booklets.
