Integrated System For Ship Performance Capability: Main Functions

IPCA is an integrated software program developed by ClassNK for determining ship performance capabilities such as trim, stability, strength, and freeboard. It consists of Design-IPCA for ship design evaluation and an Onboard-IPCA engine for loading instruments. IPCA calculates all elements of performance including hydrostatics, tank capacities, trim, stability, strength, and damage stability. It also performs freeboard calculations and determines grain heeling moments and allowable cargo loads. IPCA outputs detailed calculations and documents and interfaces with other systems through CSV files.

Integrated System for Ship Performance Capability

Key Features

◆User friendly Input and Output


◆Statutory compliant calculation
 (including 2008 IS Code)
◆Easy creation of documents for approval
◆Transferred Design IPCA data is available
 on Onboard-IPCA Engine
PrimeShip-IPCA(Integrated Program for Determining Ship
Performance Capability) is a PC Windows-based program
developed by ClassNK for determining trim, stability,
longitudinal strength, freeboard, grain heeling moment,
and other similar factors pertaining to ship performance
capability.

IPCA consists of two types of specialized applications: Design-IPCA for use in evaluating performance
characteristic during ship design, and the Onboard-IPCA Calculation Engine which is used as a base
calculation program for onboard loading instruments. IPCA is a convenient and powerful tool for
shipbuilders and designers, ship owners, ship operators and other users.

Main Functions

Complete calculation of all elements of ship


performance capability
◇Ship lines, hydrostatics, tank capacity, trim (Fixed/Free-trimming), stability,
longitudinal strength
◇Deterministic damage stability (D-SDS)
◇Probabilistic damage stability (Chapter II-1/B-1 of SOLAS) (P-SDS)
◇Freeboard calculation (ICLL1966, JG Rule)
◇Grain heeling moment
Bulk Carrier Safety (Chapter XII of SOLAS) related functions
◇Damage stability and longitudinal strength calculations in case of flooding any cargo hold
◇Determination of allowable loads for each cargo hold in keeping with changes in draft
◇Determination of allowable loads for adjacent cargo holds in keeping with changes in draft
◇Preparation of loading and unloading sequences (based on IACS standard form)

Detailed calculations for final documents


◇Highly accurate detailed calculations for final documents
◇Final documents such as correction tables of displacement due to trim, volume curves,
 sounding/ullage tables, deadweight scales, amongst others

Interface with other systems


◇Supply of base data and calculation results to other program systems via CSV file

Basic Program Package
