🔧 Before You Start Ship Maximum Cargo Calculation – Set Up Ship Data
Before using the Ship Fixed Cargo Intake Calculation Tool, you must first visit the Ship Data page. This step ensures all calculations use accurate information specific to your vessel.
✅ Required Data Pages
You’ll find links to three essential data sections:
Hydrostatic Tables (optional but recommended)
📌 Mandatory to Complete
These two sections must be completed in full. The saved data will be used automatically across all programs and calculations. You only need to save it once — typically when you first join the vessel.
⚠️ Please enter all values carefully based on your ship’s actual specifications. Pay attention to any remarks or guidance displayed during the saving process.
🧱 Optional: Hydrostatic Tables
Entering hydrostatic data here allows all tools to auto-populate data values for faster, more precise results.
If you don’t have time to complete this section, don’t worry — you can enter the necessary hydrostatic values manually during each calculation.
When prompted, enter values above and below the required data.
📖 Record Book
Click the Book Icon at the top of the page to open your personal Record Book. This is for notes and saved reports, and is accessible only to you 🔐.
⚓️ Step 1 and 2: Departure and Arrival Point of the Ship
This sections help determine the ship Departure and Arrival draft as per known weights and density.
📝 Input Fields for Departure/Arrival Calculation (Ship Fixed Cargo Intake)
Cargo on board (mt)
Enter weight of cargo at departure/arrival point.
Density of Water (t/m³)
Enter the seawater density at the limit point (e.g., 1.025 t/m³).
This value directly affects draft.
⚖️ Weights On Board at Departure/Arrival Points
Enter the ship’s known weights:
F.O. (mt) – Fuel Oil Remaining on Board
D.O. (mt) – Diesel Oil Remaining
L.O. (mt) – Lube Oil Remaining
Slop/Sewage (mt) – Waste tank content
Ballast (mt) – All seawater ballast
Fresh Water (mt) – Potable and technical water
Other Weights (mt) – Any other temporary/permanent weights
Constant (mt) – Ship's constant (crew, stores, etc.)
📊 Hydrostatic Data Input
Enter hydrostatic values above and below of the required data.
These values must be for Density 1.025 only.
If hydrostatic data is saved, click the “Insert Data” button to auto-fill values.
📈 Result – Draft (m)
The tool will calculate and display the departure/arrival draft based on:
Water density
Data from hydrostatic input
Total weights on board
📂 Step 3: Enter and Save Voyage Details
After completing the calculation, enter the voyage-specific information:
Date – Select the calculation or operation date
Voyage – Enter the voyage number or route
Cargo – Type or name of cargo to be loaded
Remarks (optional) – Add any special notes or instructions
🔐 Your data is securely stored and only accessible in your personal account.
🖨️ Print or Save Your Report
Once everything is saved, you can generate a report for print or PDF export.
📄 To Print or Save:
Scroll to the bottom and click the “PRINT” button.
A new window will open with the formatted report.
Inside the report window:
Click the printer icon 🖨 at the top-right corner to open the print dialog.

From there, you can:
Print the report
Or choose “Save as PDF” to store it digitally
