ABS has introduced a new service and analysis tool, that is expected to allow atypical cargoes on bulk carriers. The software streamlines loading analysis and provides a safer approach to loading atypical bulk cargo.
“Our new steel coil loading solution delivers customization options to expand the range of loads that can be carried safely by bulk carriers”, said ABS Executive Vice President for Global Marine, Dr. Kirsi Tikka.
The new capability helps improve efficiency, enabling faster decisions regarding the safety of nontraditional loads, as it enables timely and accurate decisions about the achievable safety for steel coil loads, that are not included in the loading manual.
“Bulker owners and operators are looking for every opportunity to keep their fleets operating in challenging market conditions,” adds Tikka. “We recognize how important it is for the bulker industry to expand their service, and we also understand the critical role that safety plays.”
