01 / YOUR VESSEL. YOUR STARTING POINT.

Start with a bay plan.
Build the whole vessel.

A straightforward profile workspace that grows with what you need. Start with bay planning, then add the vessel data for full stability and stress analysis.

  1. 01

    Create, copy or import

    Build a profile from scratch, copy a sister vessel or reuse a PLANMASTER profile. Use BAPLIE to create a starting bay layout.

  2. 02

    Shape the bay plan

    Define bays, stacks, tiers, linked positions, bulkheads and hatch lids in a visual workspace.

  3. 03

    Add depth when you need it

    Bring in supplied hydrostatics, KN curves, tanks, Bonjean curves and stress data. Excel paste, interpolation and visual charts make data entry easier.

Bay planning, stability and stress can be configured around the modules your operation needs.

02 / MORE INTELLIGENCE IN EVERY PLAN

Your priorities.
More planning power.

Work directly with the cargo, explore it in 3D, or use A.I.P. 4 to build a proposed stow. Keep your experience and priorities at the centre of the process.

Connected 2D and 3D bay plans above a cargo list.

A WORKSPACE THAT WORKS YOUR WAY

Every container. Every perspective.

Move between 2D bays, 3D stowage and your cargo list. Inspect weights, free slots and special cargo, then save the views that suit the way you work.

AI-ASSISTED PLANNING & BALLASTING

Set the priorities. Explore the possibilities.

Balance stability, discharge-port grouping, crane efficiency and restows. Include ballast optimisation with the proposed cargo plan, review the result and retain a backup version before applying it.

03 / READY FOR REAL CARGO

Connected information.
More informed planning.

Bring the files, cargo details and checks into one workflow. Spend less time moving information between tools and more time working with the plan.

NATIVE EDI SUPPORT

Speak the language
of the port.

Work with industry interchange formats directly in planning. Bring in bay plans, movement instructions, cargo orders and dangerous-goods notifications without re-keying the whole picture.

Plus CSV and PML for cargo data and familiar PLANMASTER workflows.

HAZARDOUS GOODS, IN CONTEXT

Bring the checks into the plan.

Review class segregation, UN-entry provisions and vessel-specific hazardous-goods restrictions. Keep dangerous-goods details, planning warnings and reporting connected to the cargo.

BUILT-IN VERSION CONTROL

Explore a new plan.
Keep a way back.

Save named versions at planning milestones, inspect their cargo and restore a selected version as the working plan. Preserve the starting point before testing a different approach.

04 / SEE BEYOND THE STOW

A clearer picture.
A deeper understanding.

Bring the vessel condition into view. Explore stability and stress results alongside advanced visuals that make the relationship between cargo and ship easier to see.

ADVANCED VESSEL VISUALS

See how the numbers relate to the ship.

Explore the hull with weight, shear, bending and torsion graphs. Switch viewpoints and environmental settings to see the vessel from a fresh perspective.

Stability and stress results with summary gauges, a GZ curve and highlighted condition warnings.

STABILITY & STRESS ANALYSIS

Keep the condition in the conversation.

Review GZ curves, draft, trim, tanks and stress summaries in the planning environment, with limits and warnings visible alongside the results.

Representative product screens. Calculations depend on the vessel profile and enabled modules; illustrated conditions include warnings.

05 / FROM THE PLAN TO THE NEXT PORT

Make the next move
with the bigger picture.

The work carries on beyond stowage. Connect crane moves, call rehearsal, voyage schedules and the reports your operation needs.

Crane split and move sequencing controls with assigned work and dependencies.

CRANE SPLITS & MOVES

Plan it. Sequence it. Rehearse it.

Assign crane work, review move dependencies and nominal timings, then explore the draft sequence in a 3D call rehearsal.

The voyage schedule combining route mapping and a calendar of port calls.

VOYAGES & SCHEDULES

The next call is part of the plan.

Organise port calls with visual calendars, service rotations and route maps. Keep voyage timings and estimated distances in view.

The report library with a printable vessel summary.

REPORTS & PRINTING

Turn the plan into something to share.

Produce bay plans, cargo summaries, dangerous-goods reports, crane work lists and vessel condition reports from your planning data.
