Cargo control room

[4] As technology developed, computerized systems began to centralize tasks such as cargo control per se, tank level monitoring, and real-time computation of hull stress information in the cargo control room.

[4] Tank level monitoring is another key functionality often provided in modern cargo control rooms.

Tank level monitoring allows the person in charge to take early action to avoid oil spills, especially when loading the ship.

[4] Tank level information is often sent to computers that calculate hull stresses such as shear forces and bending moments.

[4] In cases where ships carry specialty products, specialized monitoring systems are available in the cargo control room.
