Autoship Systems Corporation (ASC) is pleased to announce they will be exhibiting at the 2015 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) from May 4th – 7th at NRG Park in Houston, Texas. Visit Booth #1917 to see live demonstrations of the latest developments in their industry leading on-board stability software and marine design CAD/CAM programs.
ASC’s load planning systems have been installed on some of the most technically advanced vessels in the world. Autoload® is a robust, intuitive, easy to use program that offers a simple to understand display of key hydrostatic values that are critical for safe vessel loading. With minimal input from the user, the program provides a quick and accurate assessment of the vessel’s current stability status, loads and important margins. The user is then free to make critical decisions while the computer takes care of the mathematical complexity. The basic system uses a 3D model and has a simple control for weights. Additional modules can be added for more complex control of weights, i.e. bay plan for containers and deck plan for ro-ro cargo. It can be connected directly to the fleet’s booking system to import cargo booking and vessel scheduling data. The cargo stowage plan is developed in deck plan views and can be shown in 3D.
The CAD/CAM product line optimizes the completion of the full design package for all types of ship and boat building projects, from hull lines through to nested parts. Products include Autoship® Pro (hull design and surface modeling), Autohydro® Pro (hydrostatics and stability), Autostructure® (internal structural design), Production Manager™ (nesting and other production support), Autopower® (resistance and powering prediction) and Autoplate® (plate design, expansion and management system).
OTC’s focus is on the development of offshore resources in the fields of drilling, exploration, production, and environmental protection. It is one of the largest trade shows held in the United States.
