iStow LPH
Loadout Planning for Heavy and Large Objects
iStow LPH (Loadplan Planner for Heavy Object) is a specialized solution designed to assist load planners in executing loadout planning with precision, accuracy, and efficiency. With its advanced features, iStow LPH simplifies and standardizes the loadout planning process, minimizing the risk of errors and ensuring smooth operational flow.
Project cargo and heavylift cargo require meticulous planning to ensure safe loading and transport. Typically, this type of cargo is transported using barges or Landing Craft Tanks (LCTs), which demand precise calculations and placement. Additionally, these types of loads pose unique challenges in managing and calculating vessel stability during loading, due to their massive sizes, irregular shapes—unlike the uniformity of container loads—and uneven weight distribution.
To address these challenges, a solution is needed that provides detailed planning and calculation guidance for each stage of loading and transport. Leveraging iStow’s extensive experience in developing loading software for various vessel types and cargoes, iStow LPH offers a measured, technology-based approach that meets these needs. Equipped with specialized features, iStow LPH ensures that every loading process can be executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with applicable safety standards.
