CARGOMASTER®5

Operators Manual - 6

1. Introduction

This manual covers the use of the CARGOMASTER® computer and its
software portion. You will, however, find a few important notes on
maintenance and precautions regarding the mechanical and electrical
installations. New users are encouraged to read the “Basics” section carefully.

The CARGOMASTER® software, or computer program, is designed to utilize

groups

and

conditions

. This means organizing your tanks (or grades) into

groups for more convenient handling of densities, alarm settings etc.
Furthermore, your different groups setup may be saved and retrieved as
conditions. This opens for planning a voyage in advance, and reuse of
frequently used tank/cargo allocations. These issues are discussed further in
the Basics section.

The examples throughout this manual are gathered from M/T
SKARPEFJORD, a highly hypothetical vessel designed to include most
common configuration options available. Your vessel will probably look
somewhat different, but the procedures and the way to work the program will
be representative for most installations.
