Cargo & Tank Systems

Tank arrangements, cargo products, loading and discharging rates, manifold and gas data for tankers, gas, and chemical carriers.

For tankers, gas carriers, and chemical carriers, cargo capability is the heart of the commercial case. D-BASE records the cargo and tank configuration of each ship in the same structured form as the rest of the vessel register, so charterers and vetting inspectors see complete, consistent data.

Tanks & Capacities

Cargo, ballast, bunker, and deck tanks are documented with their capacities and arrangement. Each tank can carry the detail that matters for the trade — coatings, heating, and segregation — giving operations and commercial teams a precise picture of what the ship can lift and carry.

Cargo Products & Transfer Rates

The record holds the cargo products a vessel is configured to handle, together with loading and discharging rates and times, manifold reducers, pipe flanges, and bunker connections. This is exactly the data a terminal or charterer asks for before a fixture, available without rebuilding it from memory.

Gas & Chemical Specifics

For gas and chemical tonnage, D-BASE captures gas specifications, gas-detection points, cooldown times, temperature lowering, grade-change procedures, and unpumpable and vapourising quantities. These figures support safe operations planning and feed directly into the Q88 without re-keying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tank data does D-BASE store?
Cargo, ballast, bunker, and deck tanks with their capacities and arrangement, plus the detail that matters for the trade such as coatings, heating, and segregation.
Does it cover loading and discharging performance?
Yes. Loading and discharging rates and times, manifold reducers, pipe flanges, and bunker connections are all recorded against the vessel, so terminal and charterer questions can be answered from one place.
What is captured for gas and chemical carriers?
Gas specifications, gas-detection points, cooldown times, temperature lowering, grade-change procedures, and unpumpable and vapourising quantities — the specialised data these vessels are assessed on.
Does cargo data flow into the Q88?
Yes. Because it is stored in a structured form, cargo and tank data populates the relevant Q88 sections automatically during a Q88 export.
