CombiLoad:
Combifloat’s proprietary onboard software
15 October 2025
CombiLoad is Combifloat’s proprietary onboard software designed to ensure safe and efficient operations of modular floating and self-elevating platforms. Engineered for precision and adaptability, CombiLoad empowers operators with real-time insights into platform stability and weight distribution.
Key Features
- Floating Stability Calculations: CombiLoad performs advanced hydrostatic and hydrodynamic assessments, including righting levers, heeling angles, and displacement metrics, in compliance with IMO MSC.267(85) criteria
- Weight Component Analysis: The software provides detailed summaries of lightship and operational weights, including longitudinal, transverse, and vertical centers of gravity, enabling accurate load planning and units safe deployment
- Environmental Integration: CombiLoad incorporates environmental data such as wind speed, air and water density, and, where applicable, ice/snow presence to simulate real-world conditions and assess platform behaviour
- User-Friendly Interface: Designed for marine professionals, CombiLoad offers intuitive dashboards and warning indicators that help crews monitor platform draft, freeboard, and immersion levels in real time
- Customizable Outputs: fine-tune parameters such as tank liquid density and coordinate systems, enabling the generation of tailored reports optimized for client presentations and operational reviews.
Applications
CombiLoad is applicable across all Combifloat series (C-5, C-7, and C-9) and supports the full range of Combifloat units including Self-Elevating Platforms, Floating Barges, and Holding Spud Barges, ensuring consistent stability management and operational control across diverse marine applications.
Proven in the Field
CombiLoad has been successfully deployed across a wide range of projects and platform types, consistently demonstrating its value in optimizing deadweight distribution and verifying compliance with stability criteria in diverse loading conditions. Whether applied to Self-Elevating Platforms, Floating Barges, or Holding Spud Barges, CombiLoad supports engineering teams in achieving precise load case validation and stability assurance. Its integration into Combifloat’s operational workflows has significantly enhanced safety and reduced risk during offshore mobilizations, contributing to smoother execution and improved project outcomes.
