Vessel Editor

The Vessel Editor web-based graphical application is a tool for the creation and definition of stowage rules. This produces a virtual vessel class to be used within the MTLS Vessel Planner and Baplie Applications. With a point and click interface, Vessels can be created identifying reefer plugs, locations, height and weight restrictions for each Bay, stack and container extends.
