WISE Cargo

Models Available

LPG Carrier now available

The WISE Cargo software is currently available for the following ship models:

  • 150000 dwt Double Hull Crude Oil / Products Tanker
  • 22000m3 fully refrigerated LPG Carrier

For full details of the models and what they incorporate click on the links above. They are the same as those used within the SAfeCargo LCHS and hence include all the same functionality including the fluid and thermodynamics relating to the various cargoes and systems by using complex chemical and physical modeling techniques. This allows multiple cargoes or mixtures together with variations in vapor content to be simulated with a great accuracy and the results displayed to the operator. This, together with the model simulation being run in real time, enables training to be provided with maximum realism.

The aspects of each model that are monitored using the software include:

Crude Oil / Products Tanker

  • Ballasting operations
  • Operation of the inert gas plant
  • Maintenance of tank atmospheres in a safe condition
  • Inerting procedures
  • Loading procedures
  • Discharge procedures
  • Crude Oil Washing procedures
  • Operation of cargo pumps and stripping systems
  • Implementation of save practices
  • Stability

LPG Carrier

  • Ballasting operations
  • Inerting and gassing up procedures for tanks and hold spaces
  • Cooldown procedures
  • Operation of refrigeration plant
  • Operation of vaporizers and heaters
  • Loading procedures
  • Cargo conditioning
  • Discharge procedures
  • Grade change procedures
  • Implementation of save practices
  • Stability

Each rule set includes in excess of 1000 rules which are checked at periods not exceeding 20secs to ensure that sufficient feedback is provided at the appropriate time. In addition the system can identify the type of operation being conducted to further filter the message output to the operator so only those directly relevant are displayed.

Future versions will be available for:

  • 22000 m3 Fully Refrigerated LPG Carrier
  • 135000 m3 LNG Carrier
  • 15700 dwt IMO 1 & 2 Chemical Tanker
