ABS has introduced Eagle CRoute, an online tool aimed at enhancing operational flexibility for containership operators through precise lashing reduction factor calculations. With the increasing complexity of port rotations, blank sailings, and geopolitical shifts, operators face mounting pressure to make quick loading decisions. Eagle CRoute assists by providing tailored reduction factors for onboard lashing force assessments based on specific routes.
Dr. Christina Wang, ABS Vice President of Engineering Applications, emphasized the need for practical tools that allow operators to adapt swiftly without compromising safety. Eagle CRoute enables operators to explore route-specific loading options while leveraging the flexibility offered by ABS lashing notations.
The tool can determine various reduction factors depending on the vessel’s lashing notation. For vessels with the CLP-V notation, it calculates reduction factors for the entire route, while those with the CLP-V(PARR) notation receive more detailed calculations, including split-route and seasonal reduction factors.
Additionally, Eagle CRoute can assess short-voyage reduction factors for trips under 72 hours, factoring in weather and wave forecasts. By consolidating these capabilities into a single platform, Eagle CRoute streamlines planning for containership operations.
