The world-first automatic stowage planning system
SS-Planner (Super Stowage Planner) is the world-first automatic stowage planning system to complete the most optimized stowage planning within minutes. As figuring the skilled techniques and experiences of top ship planners into the system, SS-Planner supports the users to carry out the high qualified stowage planning. Differing from existing manual way in stowage planning, SS-Planner enables the planners to consider all of relevant conditions and situations of vessel, terminal, and cargo at a time and then presents the optimized results automatically. Only in minutes, the planners can choose the most loadable, suitable, and stable stowage planning.

SS-Planner does not only save time and effort for stowage planning but also enhances the quality of planning through verifying provisional plans before adopting it into working. So, it is possible to prepare unexpected or abnormal situations of stowage planning in advance. It also means that shipping liners can take SS-Planner to cultivate competent ship planners for educational use.

Existing Stowage Planning |
SS-Planner |
| Cargo Data Input |
· Users input the data of each container by hand |
· Users can input the whole data with using specified file format
· System can create the stowage planning
after the input
|
| The time required for stowage planning* |
· 2~3 hours |
· 10 minutes |
| Revise & verify the planning results |
· Lack of time for revising and verifying
the planning results for longstanding
stowage planning |
· It is possible to adjust and simulate
results just after stowage planning |
| Expect the estimated cargo volume for stowage planning |
· It only depends on the subjective
forecast of planners.
· It is difficult to find a problem with the
planning results even under problems
happened. |
· It is easy to estimate the cargo volume
for stowage planning and adjust it for
unexpected changes. |
| Existing Information of Stowage Planning |
· Users save the data as excel and text
files |
· SS-Planner saves the information as
database and uses it for optimized
stowage planning later. |
| Training |
N/A |
· Trainees can acquire the process and
characteristics of stowage planning with
simulation function |
