3D Stowage Planning & Feasibility

Virtual precision for physical success

We provide peace of mind by utilizing advanced 3D Stowage Planning technology to engineer your cargo operation before the vessel ever arrives at the berth.

We provide comprehensive stowage solutions for diverse commodities and vessel types, guaranteeing spatial and operational viability. By simulating the stowage virtually, we eliminate the guesswork, ensuring that when loading begins, execution is flawless.

Ultimate risk mitigation tool for Charterers, Owners, and Logistics Managers.

Visualizing

We produce detailed three-dimensional visualizations of potential stowage arrangements.

Clash detection

We identify conflicts instantly. Whether it’s a stanchion getting in the way of a crate, or a stability issue caused by weight distribution, we work it out.

Time Savings

The final 3D plan serves as an instructional blueprint for the stevedores. They don't lose time "thinking how to do it" or debating the best angle; they simply follow the engineered plan.

Case The “Gas Pipe” efficiency

The Challenge: A client needed to load a shipment of specialized, oddly shaped gas pipes. The risk of delay due to handling confusion was high.

The Hanman Solution: We pre-planned the entire shipment using 3D modeling. We calculated the exact costs, checked feasibility for lifting and stowage, and created a step-by-step loading sequence.

The Result: When the vessel arrived, our Port Captain attended the loading to ensure the plan was followed. The stevedores worked without hesitation. The ship loaded and sailed away faster with minimal delays, and the client avoided all unexpected overtime costs.

Capabilities across Commodities
