The Autoload 3D vessel model is exactly the same model as used for cal- culations in approved stability booklets.
Vessel loading is a combination of input from tank sensors and manual input. Manual input includes tanks not online and manually entered (solid) loads.
When tanks are online, Autoload will load the model tanks precisely in accor- dance with sensor reading and vessel trim and heel.
A key feature of Autoload is the draft survey. In the Draft Dialogue, the user can compare Autoload calculated drafts with "real drafts" - obtained either from manually observed drafts or from draft sensors. A "constant weight", equal to the sum of unknown weights onboard, is determined from the difference between calculated drafts and real drafts. A draft survey report can be printed directly from the Draft Dialogue.
