Research On Auto Realization Of General Cargo Ship Stowage Plan

General cargo ship is a type of ship with long history, which is widely used in the world. According to the statics, the numbers of general cargo ships as well as the tonnage, are both at the top of all types of ships. Due to the advantages of tonnage, structure and shipping price, general cargo ships always have market competition in shipping world.With the rapid development of computer technology and the enforcement of SOLAS, stowage software are equipped by more ships. The wide range of cargoes in a single voyage, making the cargo stowage plan and ensuring the safety of both cargoes and ship has consistently been a complex organization. General cargo ship plan is a medium which could displays the current stowage directly, so making the appropriate stowage plan become more important.The thesis takes a global view of stowage software, summarized the recent situation and drew several instructions to procedure of stowage software developing.The thesis introduce a software with the function of visualizing general cargo ship stowage plan, which drawing the stowage plan by mouse, recording the cargo information by keyboard, auto recognized the stowage plan by the computer via the coordinate of the start and final point of line. Displaying the close area of each corresponding cargo proportionated to the volume of each plot. Calculating the data as drift, GM, strength moment etc.The content and conclusion of the thesis give the guide of stowage software developing, the system could be referenced example of stowage plan visualizing.
