In an emergency situation when the ship is taking in water, it is extremely important that the loading calculator receives continuous reliable online information on the water levels in all spaces in the ship, so that correct calculations and predictions can be made regarding flooding rates and the ship’s damaged stability.

This information serves as basis for all corrective measures, and ultimately for decisions regarding possible abandoning of the ship in due time in order to prevent the loss of lives for people onboard.

SF-Control has together with Onboard Napa Oy developed a system, where LevelDatic supplies continuously online the information from all tanks and void spaces to the Onboard Napa advanced loading calculator.

The Decision Support for Flooding Control is important for enhancing safety onboard all types of passenger vessels, ferries, ropax - ships and navy ships.

This system has been adopted by most cruise ship companies and many passenger ferry operators. Also retrofit installations have been made on many old cruise vessels as turnkey by SF-Control.
