SMM BUNKERS SURVEY INSTRUMENT

Image
Immediate benefits of this software are the following: Automatic corrections for Trim/Heel/Density/Temperature. Calculation of the density of blended bunkers. Automatic synchronization of data between vessel and office. Categorization / Definition of the vessels tanks categories as HSFO, LSFO, ULSFO, MDO etc. Corrected Weight in Air or in Vacuum. Density of the Bunkers can be corrected retrospectively when Samples Analysis is available. Print-out tailored to your good Company’s needs Clarity &Transparency based on official shipyard’s documentation (Sounding/Calibration Tables) endorsed by SMM (UK) Ltd. as 3rd party. Support for Customizable setting of the alarm contents levels for each F.O./D.O. tank, enabling the User to adjust such accordingly depending on your good Company’s Policy and Conditions. Automatic Calculation of the recommended Bunkers Quantities basis on the abovementioned alarm tanks level for estimating required HFO/MD

Vessel Air Draft & Floating Position External Module

Image
Immediate Benefits & Features of this software:   With the “Vessel Floating Position” module in use, you can easily calculate and provide all info requested by the Charterers/Port agents/Terminals, without requiring retrieving the needed figures from loading manuals and vessels' Plans. The most critical information of your vessel's floating position (ie. During loading/unloading operations) are fully accessible by anyone. The risk of losing important ship documentation during handling of hard copies is minimized. Expenses and delays for retrieving appropriate vessels’ plans or manuals can be avoided. Automatic synchronization of data between vessels and office (fleet-based). Office fleet-based version.

Cooking Oil Processing - Possible Record in eORB

Image
Preferable method is disposal of Cooking Oil ashore. Never dispose Cooking Oil in the bilge system putting it through the Oil Water Separator (OWS), OWS cannot treat used cooking oil.  Cooking Oil NOT to be transferred to sludge tanks as it is not a MARPOL I waste (Oil). Cooking Oil is a MARPOL V waste (Garbage) and may be incinerated when combined with waste/oily rags or other inflammable materials (Category F garbage).

BEST PRACTICE FOR C/Es TO CHANGE LCV

Image
It is important once bunkers samples analysis results are available to prompt C/Es to alter the Low Calorific Value (LCV) on M/E's settings assuring better combustion efficiency, in case of fuel changeover. The Low Calorific Value is a measure of the heat energy available. The specific fuel consumption is typically stated in terms of g/kWh, based upon a standard fuel with a lower calorific value (LCV) of 42.7 MJ/kg.

MULTILOAD LOADING PROGRAM - VIQ7 WORST CASE SCENARIO - DIRECT DAMAGE STABILITY TYPE 3 - VETTING INSPECTORS REQUIREMENTS

Image
How do we address more effectively to the requirement of Vetting Inspectors for the worst case scenario against Damage Stability criteria on the basis of GM parameter as per VIQ7 ? MULTILOAD Loading Program now provides more user-friendly support for satisfying the requirement of Vetting Inspectors with regard to the worst case scenario against Damage Stability criteria on the basis of GM parameter as per VIQ7.

24hr SMM Emergency Response Service

Our SMM Emergency Response Service is distinguished for the following :  Equivalent service to other recognized IACS Class Societies service; Utilization of the most recognizable Salvage Engineering Software HECSALV since 1992 ;  Long-term and experienced SMM ERS Team consisted of Naval Architects; Crew Training and shore-based response team; Harmonization with all IACS & OCIMF Recommendations f or the Operations of Shore-Based Emergency Response Services; Fast decision-making and precision to advising on how to improve situation for cargo and vessel as certified Naval Architects and manufacturer of our own loading instrument software Multiload , since 1986 with longstanding expertise and experience derived by  numerous Class Approvals of Loading Manuals and Trim & Stability Booklets for more than 3,500 ships and 1,000 loading instruments for merchant ships; S.A. Malliarouda

IACS Guidance and information on bulk cargo loading and discharging to reduce the likelihood of over-stressing the hull structure.

Image
In such cases, the Multiload Loading Program Option “Cargo Loading Sequence with report” including “Free Mode” method is a total solution to the requirement for Bulk Carriers to prepare a Loading or Unloading Plan before arriving to the Terminal (as per Common Structural Rules Chapter 4, Section 8, par. 2.1.2, where the Loading / Unloading Sequence is to be agreed with the terminal on the basis of achievable rates of change of ballast).

SMM DRAFT SURVEY INSTRUMENT SOFTWARE

Image
Main Benefits & Features: Automatic corrections for trim and heel & density. Instantaneous calculations of DWT items. Memory of last known weights for each tank brings savings in time and effort for every single draft survey. Timeline of all the recorded draft surveys. Print-out tailored to each shipping company’s needs. Clarity & transparency based on official shipyard’s documentation (sounding/calibration tables) endorsed by SMM (UK) Ltd. as 3rd party. Improved efficiency of operations, judgement and communication. Automatic synchronization of data between vessels and office (fleet-based). Office fleet-based version.
