A vessel loading plan for logs, from the stack to the hold

Each vessel in Atlas has five holds, B1 to B5, and five decks, C1 to C5. The loading plan uses the same names, so the plan on screen matches the ship at the berth.

Batches group stacks of one species and one length. The planner sets the planned hold of each stack and gets an XLSX of the plan for each shift, ready for the port team.

Every truck trip from the yard to the port leaves with its own loading delivery note (remito). At the port, the operator records each load to its hold and its shift on the same handheld, so the plan and what actually went into the ship sit side by side.

Loading does not need a second device or a separate port app. The yard and the port share one record of each load.

After loading, the logs left in a stack are scanned as remnants. The loaded logs are the stack's logs minus its remnants, so nobody has to scan every log on its way into the hold to know what left the yard.

Atlas compares the loaded net tonnes with the loaded JAS m³ × 1.1, per stack, per batch and per vessel. It is a plain formula, shown as information and never as a block, so loading goes on and a gap between weight and volume is easy to spot and explain.

The packing list carries one line per log, with:

Export the packing list as CSV, PDF or XLSX, for the buyer and for customs, from the same records the yard and the port worked on.

The planner plans vessels and batches at the desk. The port operator loads, reviews remnants and exports the packing list.
