Deployment Options and Integrations
Deployment
Onboard Installation
- Class-approved loading computer installation on vessel hardware.
- Optimised for offline use, with sync options where connectivity is available.
Office Access
- Web-based access for supers, engineering and operations teams.
- Same vessel models and methods as onboard, no separate “office version”.
Integrations
Tank Sensors & Loading Data
- Interfaces for tank level and loading-related signals (where available).
Hoppe Ballast Control
- Integration with Hoppe Marine ballast control systems on equipped vessels.
Data Export
- Export cases, results and reports to PDF/Excel/JSON for use in other systems and internal archives.
IT & Security
Access & Permissions
- Secure logins with role-based permissions for ship and shore users.
Hosting & Data
- Flexible hosting models (cloud / hybrid / on-prem, depending on your policy).
Backup & Audit Trails
Backups and audit logs to track changes, approvals and key actions on cases.
Designed for Masters, Chief Officers and Shore Teams
Masters
Work approved loading conditions with clear margins and reports surveyors recognise.
Chief Officers
Build, adjust and optimise cargo and ballast conditions without re-entering data in multiple tools.
Port Captains / Superintendents
Review shipboard cases, run what-if scenarios from shore and support vessels on tight turnarounds.
Ship Owners / Fleet Managers
Standardise loading practices across vessels and gain better visibility of how close operations run to limits.
Naval Architects / Cargo Engineers
Confirm that day-to-day conditions match the assumptions and methods used in design and approval.
HSEQ / Compliance Teams
Access a consistent record of how conditions were checked, approved and documented across the fleet.
How Operators Use SecureLoad Onboard
Vessel / Operator
Captured decades of retrofits into a modern loading model and replaced manual workarounds with a class-approved SecureLoad Loading Computer.
Vessel / Operator
Vessel / Operator
Rolled out SecureLoad as the common loading computer across the newest-generation heavy-lift fleet, adding crane and deck checks into a single approved workflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is the loading computer class-approved?
Yes. SecureLoad Loading Computer is designed and delivered for class approval.
Each vessel implementation goes through a class approval process (per class society) based on its specific model, hydrostatics and strength data.
Q2. How do updates to vessel data or curves work?
Vessel data updates (lightship changes, curves, limits, retrofits, etc.) are managed through a controlled engineering process.
Our team (or your appointed naval architect) updates the model, validates it and, where required, submits changes for class review before it’s deployed to ship and shore.
Q3. What happens if we lose connectivity?
Onboard, the loading computer is designed to work offline.
All calculations and reports are available locally; any sync with shore systems happens when connectivity is restored—loading safety does not depend on a live connection.
Q4. Can shore teams view or review onboard cases?
Yes, where the cloud component is deployed.
Approved or shared cases can be viewed, copied and further analysed by supers, engineering and operations teams using the same vessel model and methods as onboard.
Q5. What does onboarding and training look like?
We start with a pilot vessel or small group of vessels, deliver and approve the models, and run guided training sessions for bridge and shore teams.
Most customers combine live online sessions with recorded walkthroughs and quick-reference guides tailored to their procedures.
Q6. How does licensing work for ship and office users?
Licensing is typically structured per vessel for onboard use, with additional seats or roles for office users.
We’ll align the licensing model with your fleet size, shore organisation and rollout plan. For details, talk to our team or see our licensing overview.
