Kockumation And SpecTec

Join Forces In Software

Endeavor

Kockumation and SpecTec

Systems have combined their efforts and have begun offering

Kockumation's Loadmaster featur- ing SpecTec's AMOS-Load software in one product. The resulting hybrid works through the Windows95 plat- form. The new program has been further enhanced with a graphics- orientated interface to present ship status information via the

Loadmaster. The program works through a series of simulations regarding the loading and unloading sequence. The software then obtains a list of immediate results to form the basis of a load/discharge plan. This feature of predictions is especially useful if there is a change in the load/discharge sequence.

In situations where there is a turn- around involved, the software can find the most efficient way to handle the unloading and subsequent reloading. Loadmaster also comes with a guide to conserve fuel by opti- mizing the vessel's trim line.
