Gas Carrier Operations with SecureLoad
Who Uses SecureLoad on Gas Carriers
On the ship
Masters
Make loading and ballast decisions with clear visibility of stability, strength and key constraints for each condition.
Chief Officers
Prepare and adjust loading and ballast plans without juggling separate spreadsheets, while keeping within tight gas carrier envelopes.
On shore
Marine / Fleet Superintendents
Review and support vessel conditions, ensuring company rules and safety margins are applied consistently across the fleet.
Technical / HSSE Managers
Define and monitor technical and safety standards for loading, ballast and stress, and see how they’re followed in practice.
Operations / Scheduling / Cargo Planners
Test proposed parcel patterns and voyages against real vessel capabilities before committing, using a shared technical picture with the ship.
Gas Carrier Realities We Design For
Onboard & Voyage Planning
- Managing multiple tanks, grades and temperature states, with cooldown/warming constraints and tight operating windows.
- Keeping every condition within strict stability, longitudinal strength, draft and trim envelopes.
- Handling last-minute parcel or sequence changes without losing control of margins or constraints.
Shore & Fleet
- Seeing the true loadability of each vessel and voyage—not just rough estimates in spreadsheets.
- Standardising how conditions, limits and special constraints are applied across the gas carrier fleet.
- Producing clear, defensible documentation for charterers, vetting teams and external audits.

What Changes With SecureLoad on Gas Carriers
Before SecureLoad
Different practices and spreadsheets on each vessel, even for similar trades and ship types.
Limited visibility for superintendents into how limits and special constraints are actually applied.
Extra work to assemble consistent, defensible documentation for charterers, vetting and audits.
With SecureLoad
A shared, validated workflow for gas carrier loadcases and ballast plans across the fleet.
Clear margins and constraints that ship and shore interpret the same way on every condition.
Consistent, exportable reports that support vetting, charterer dialogue and audit discussions without rework.
Standardise How Your Gas Fleet Plans and Loads
Common templates and rule sets
Use shared loadcase templates and rule sets per gas carrier class, so similar vessels are always engineered the same way.
Aligned structure for operating conditions
Apply consistent naming and structure for typical loading, loaded passage, cooldown/warming and ballast conditions.
Compare practices across vessels
See how margins and practices differ across vessels, and use that insight to tighten standards or replicate best performers.
Safety, Vetting and Marine Assurance
Transparent view of safety margins for stability and strength on each key condition, not just final snapshots.
Repeatable documentation packages for vetting, SIRE/inspections and internal marine assurance, built from the same workflow every time.
Historical loading cases retained for review after incidents or near-misses, supporting fact-based learning and improvement.
Typical outputs
- Condition summaries for loading, loaded passage and ballast cases
- Stability and longitudinal strength check overviews
- PDF / print-ready reports for ship, shore and vetting files
