Tanker Cargo Loading Analysis & Tank Compatibility Checker
Verify cargo compatibility and generate optimized tanker loading sequences
What You Can Do
Analyze cargo properties against tank specifications to ensure regulatory compliance and physical safety. Calculate optimal loading sequences that satisfy segregation rules, minimize tank cleaning time, and maintain vessel stability. Generate pre-operation compliance documentation for port authority submission in minutes instead of hours.
Features
Cross-reference cargo types against tank materials and history to identify safe, restricted, and prohibited loading combinations
Automatically apply IMO, SOLAS, and port-specific segregation requirements to ensure regulatory compliance
Calculate sequences that balance safety constraints with tank utilization, minimizing cleaning cycles between cargoes
Account for cargo weight distribution and center of gravity to flag stability risks before loading begins
Determine required cleaning procedures, estimated duration, and water/chemical quantities for transitions between incompatible cargoes
Identify heating, cooling, or venting requirements based on cargo properties and flag hazardous conditions
Auto-produce port authority pre-operation reports with cargo certificates, tank specifications, and risk assessments
Rapidly assess minimum-time safe procedures for urgent cargo transfers with real-time constraint validation
Example Output
Compatibility Assessment for Crude Oil → Refined Fuel Oil transition:
✓ COMPATIBLE — Tank T2 (stainless steel, heated) can safely load Refined Fuel Oil after Crude Oil with hot water flush protocol.
- Cleaning time: 6 hours
- Water requirement: 8 cubic meters at 80°C
- Port authority restriction: None (complies with IMO SOLAS)
Recommended Loading Sequence for 3-cargo operation:
- Tank T1: Light Naphtha (150 m³) — sequence start, lowest flash point
- Tank T3: Heavy Fuel Oil (280 m³) — parallel load, dedicated heating circuit
- Tank T2: Crude Oil (320 m³) — final load, atmospheric tank
Stability Impact: Metacentric height 2.1m (safe margin), draft increase 0.8m (within limits).
Pre-Operation Compliance Report: All segregation rules met. No heating conflicts. Cleaning procedures documented. Ready for port submission.
