Draft surveying is currently a slow and inefficient process, resulting in restrictions on port throughput, billing inaccuracies, and potential safety hazards due to overloading. Using multiple electronic sensing and computing aspects, researchers at the National Centre for Ports and Shipping at the Australian Maritime College within the University of Tasmania have developed a fast, accurate tool for measuring and computing draft survey data. Applicable to all sizes of Dry Bulk Carriers, ArchimedIT’s fully automated system offers significant advantages over traditional human-based estimation methods, including time-saving to increase port capacity; accuracy for improved billings; loading rigour for better safety; and precise compensation for swell.
