Innovative software for planning and simulation of cargo handling and ballast water exchange on the ship

The paper presents an innovative computer programs “Kalkulator” and “Sekwencja” for planning and simulation of cargo handling operations and the exchange of ballast water for bulk carrier B-517 series. The software is designed to develop and simulate particular loading stages based on the loading programs or water ballast exchange plans. The programs presented in article show new trends in development of loading calculators.
