Draft Survey For Tankers by Avocet

Draft Survey For Tankers Screenshots

Description

Aboard tankers , it is a frequent practice of Ships Officers to take draft surveys many times a day. Since you are loading at a fast rate which sometimes exceeds 250Tons/Hrs , Draft changes considerably at every end of watch, And it is not possible to record all the six draft marks at all times. Sometimes we have to be contented with just the drafts on the port side or the Starboard side.

Avocet has designed this App with the above in mind. If you take the draft on one side then you can fairly estimate the draft on the other by matching the List angle with the Inclinometer.

The optimum condition would be to take all the six draft , get the dock density , determining the deductibles and then using hydrostatic table to get the weight of the cargo loaded.

Draft Survey is a way to determine the weight of cargo being loaded on a vessel. Ship Surveyor App calculates the draft survey and produces a draft survey report.

Ships Hydrostatic Curves data can now be entered through the website http://www..avocetdata.net.
Or you can email your Excel Data which will be corrected and sent to you as file or as web download.
Non Excel or Textual data such as picture of documents can be sent as attachment to support@avocetdata.com .

This Draft Survey procedure and calculation ascertained is based on the following.:
Reading the draft mark of the ship, which consists of six (6) points of draft marks, i.e.; Ford, Midship, and Aft at both sides of the ship,sampling of the sea water or dock water density at the place where the vessel floats,determining of deductible weights by measuring and sounding of ballast tanks, fuel oil, fresh water that exists onboard at the time of survey,and finally using Hydrostatic Table provided on board to calculate..

Hydrostatic and Tank Data can be prepared using a Textfile Editor such as Notepad, or Excel in CSV format and imported directly using iTunes . This is detailed in detailed in the user manual available at www.avocetdata.com/draftsurvey/usermanual.pdf

If your Mobile System supports Printing using Air compatible printer then you can prnt directly from iPad/iPhone. However using the Internet/Wifi you can email the report to yourself and then Print it using the Email Browser Program such as Safari, Gmail.MSN , Yahoo etc.

iPad has built in Printing feature for Air Compatible Printer. Please check the manual for more detail as to how to print using iPad Printing feature.

To begin with you need to load the Hydrostatic Table for your ship.
And must configure the various length data required for calculation.

And we are always there to provide you the best support if you need any.
