1. Introduction
This software product is developed for planning cargo operations under consideration of draughts, trim, stability and stress. The cargo can consist of container, bulk, timber, break bulk and special goods (e.g. project cargo). The program is related to the individual ship to which one it is programmed for.
The program is built up in modules which can be opened by clicking on the appropriate menu or sub menu button shown on top in the main window. In the following chapters the module functions will be described.
2. Hardware System Requirements
To run the program satisfactory the following minimum hardware and system parameters are required:
- IBM compatible Computer Pentium II and higher,
- screen dissolution with 800 x 600 and higher,
- operating system Windows 9x and higher,
- DirectX – software for the operating system (newest version on Install-CD),
- Printer with 300 dpi,
- Graphic card with 16 Bit colour depth in the dissolution.
3. Program Installation
A. from CD-ROM:
Put the CD in the CD-ROM drive of your PC. Copy the file “INSTALL.exe” from the CD on your PC. Double click on this EXE-file and extract it on your PC under C:\ ! Create a shortcut on your desktop related to the file “colos.exe” in folder “C:\colos_win”.
B. Updates by E-Mail Attachment:
First delete from the folder ”archiv” under “C:\colos_win” the sub folder “light ship”. Then save the folder “archiv” to a floppy disk or CD-ROM! This folder contains all your existing load cases!
Then delete the folder “colos_win” with all sub folders from your PC.
You have received a file named “INSTALL.eee” via E-Mail (Land/INMARSAT).
Copy this file to your PC and rename it from “INSTALL.eee” to “INSTALL.exe” (this is necessary because Antivirus Software will not allow EXE-files as attachments!). Then follow the advices given under A. concerning the program installation!
Copy back the saved folder “archiv” to “C:\colos_win” by overwriting the existing folder “archiv”.
4. Input of Data
Required inputs can be done either by mouse click on the spin buttons (up/down) right of the numeric field or by typing in the figures (either numbers or letters) directly via keyboard. When clicking in the numeric field it will appear brown with a yellow frame around. Now inputs via keyboard can be done and have to be completed by pressing the “Enter-Key”.
Concerning the mouse there are three steps available! Each click on one of the spin buttons (up/down) increases/decreases the figures when using the
left mouse button in 0.10 unit steps,
right mouse button in 1.00 unit steps,
middle key or wheel in 10.0 unit steps.
To scroll text or the like by the spin buttons (up/down) you can use any mouse button.
Function buttons can be activated by clicking on them. As soon as you move the mouse cursor over such a function button it will appear with a yellow frame. Permanent set “active” buttons will appear yellow on the screen.
5. Display/Output of Data

6. Main Window
After starting the program by clicking on the COLOS start button on the PC’s desktop the main window appears on the screen.
This window is showing the head line, indicating the ship’s name, call sign, current name of load case, the date and time, the buttons to switch between the English and German language and to end the program.
Below the head line the eight (8) main menu buttons (“special”, “tanks”, “free input”, “container”, “bulk/grain”, “special cargo”, “timber”, “function”) are visible.
By clicking on one of the eight main menu buttons further sub menu buttons will appear on the screen.
On the right third of the main window three separate display fields are visible. The contents of the upper two fields can be changed by a click on the right mouse button in the appropriate field. The following display variations are available:
“certificate of stability”, “position afloat”, “tank graphic”, “shear forces & bending moments”, cross & torsion moments”, “blanc” or “grain stability”.
The lower right field is self explaining. The version number of the program is indicated in this field in the right lower corner (B74150704 - important if problems occur and service is required).
The big and blanc main field displays the different program functions when clicking on one of the main or sub menu buttons.
The field below is also self explaining. All described fields are permanent visible nevertheless witch program functions dependent on the choice of menu item are shown in the big field.
7. Menu and Sub Menu buttons
To switch between the different program modules (functions) you have to press one of the menu buttons. If you do so sub menu buttons will appear on the screen. The description of all this buttons (program functions) will follow below.
7.1 special
If you press this button five sub menus will appear on the screen!
7.1.1 stores (constant)
If you press this button the main window will change to the below shown display. This function can be used to put in the “stores” better the “constant” of the vessel. You can find out the approximate weight of the constant by carrying out a draught survey (see chapter 7.1.4 draft survey).
The coordinates for the longitudinal centre of gravity you may find out in this menu by changing “l.c.g” with the spin buttons (up/down) until the displayed draughts in this window fit to your own readings before starting the draught survey calculation.
The blue bar shows the longitudinal distribution of the weight adjustable by the spin buttons (up/down) right of “x-aft” and “x-forward”. This input is compulsory for all non standardized weights other than tanks or container to calculate the stress of the vessel.
The green cross indicates the centre of gravity of the whole vessel. The brown one is related only to the “stores” or “constant”.
You can change the l.c.g.- basis from aft perpendicular (ap) to main frame (ms) by pressing the appropriate function button in the main window. In case of (ms) minus indicates aft of main frame plus before main frame. In case of (ap) minus indicates aft of aft perpendicular.
7.1.2 seaworthiness
If you press this button the main window will change to the below shown display.

How to do the scrolling and print out, see chapter 5. Display/Output of data.
7.1.3 covers
If you press this button the main window will change to the below shown display.
By this function you can adjust your hatch covers, tween deck pontoons and bulk heads as necessary. For this purpose you have ten (10) different possibilities of adjustment (has to be done one time!). To switch between this different versions use the spin buttons (up/down) right of “version”. The displayed “version” (here: 01) is always active concerning the calculation of stability, stress etc. By this mean you can estimate the change of initial stability concerning hatch completely/partly open or closed while monitoring the output field “GM” when switching between the appropriate versions.
To switch between the covers/pontoons use the spin buttons (up/down) right of “cover-no”. The related cover/pontoon appears yellow.
To open/close, change position or discharge/load the covers/pontoons/bulk heads use the spin buttons (up/down) right of “position”. The tween deck pontoons no. 3 & 4 and 9 & 10 can be used as bulk heads and can be placed in positions “A” to “E”. Maximum two bulk heads can be adjusted! The adjusted bulk head(s) will automatically appear when pressing the “bulk” button!
7.1.4 draft survey
If you press this button the main window will change to the below shown display.
By this module you can carry out an “Initial” and “Final” Draft Survey.
7.1.4.1 Initial Draft Survey:
At first adjust all weights you report to the draft surveyor e.g. tanks etc. also in this program. After having taken the actual drafts at the six marks together with the draft surveyor start this module and set all displayed drafts on zero by clicking on the “delete” button. Then click on the “start” button relating to the first measurement. Theoretical the displayed drafts should be the same as your own readings if the vessel has no deflection and constant and if all single weights are adjusted properly before in this program. Practically there will be differences between the displayed drafts and the actual drafts taken!
To find out now the constant of the vessel adjust the theoretical drafts by overtyping them with your own readings. In the demo the difference = constant is 43,7t!
7.1.4.2 Final Draft Survey
Adjust all weights e.g. cargo, tanks that have been changed during loading. If the constant is not changed during loading (no disposal of sludge etc.) type in the value determined by the initial draft survey in the module “stores” otherwise type in the corrected one.
Take the actual readings of the draft marks together with the surveyor. Then click on the “start” button relating to the second measurement. Theoretical the displayed drafts should be the same as your own readings if the vessel has no deflection and if all changed weights are adjusted properly before in this program as reported to the surveyor.
Practically there will be small differences between the displayed drafts and the actual readings! After overtyping the displayed drafts by the actual readings the difference should be around zero.
In all cases do not forget to adjust the correct density of water! As soon as you have activated the second measurement by clicking on the “start” button you can not make any changes in the first measurement (function buttons are blocked!).
A print out from the first and second measurement including all changes in weights can be done as described in chapter 5. .

All necessary entries concerning the bulk cargo can be done by the spin buttons (up/down) or directly by keyboard (see chapter 4.).
The cargo hold or hold sections can be completely filled/emptied by the appropriate function buttons “full” / “empty”.
The related cargo hold section will appear with a yellow frame. You can switch between the sections by mouse click.
If you activate the function button “no grain” to “grain” the SOLAS requirements concerning stability for grain cargoes will be activated. The total grain heeling moment will be displayed on top of the window.
“grain list [ ° ]” means the list of the vessel because of asymmetric distribution of weights (should be around zero) and not because of shifted grain.
Attention: The minimum heeling moment per hold section can only be generated by filling the hold section via the capacity input  100%.
(SOLAS distinguishes between “full” and “partly filled” holds. The difference is the angle of shifting of the grain surface: full = 15° / partly filled = 25°. The smaller angle reduces the heeling moment! A filling rate of 99,999…9% means already the bigger angle = 25%.)
Furthermore an additional button with the functions “free surface” / “secured surface” will appear on the screen.
If “free surface” is activated for a hold section the grain heeling moment according the filling rate will be calculated and displayed.
If “secured surface” (e.g. by bags or tween deck covers or the like) is activated the heeling moments will set to zero.
The special grain stability can be selected in one of the two upper side windows. But it will only appear if the button “grain” is active!

If you press this button two sub menus will appear on the screen!
7.6.1 input
If you press this button the main window will change to the below shown display.
By this special module (function) it is possible to simulate the loading/discharging procedure of any kind of heavy lift cargo. In the following these special program functions will be explained thoroughly.
7.6.1.1 creating a heavy cargo piece (collo)
A collo can be created (defined) via the below displayed input functions:
Procedure:
1. Select the position (“weatherdeck”, “tweendeck I – III” or “tankdeck”) via the spin buttons (up/down).
2. Describe the collo by filling out “marking” via keyboard (see chapter 4.) or select an already defined collo (there are 100 pieces possible) via the spin buttons (up/down).
3. Select the place for loading/unloading (“ashore SB or ashore PS”, “weatherdeck”, “tweendeck I – III” or “tankdeck”).
4. Make inputs for “weight”, “length”, “breadth” and “height” of the collo e.g. according loading list.
Attention: asymmetrical inputs by spin buttons for the centre of gravity is possible (up/down). The real position of the centre of gravity is indicated by a red line.
5. Make an entry for the “distance collo-shell” by the spin buttons (up/down) or directly by keyboard (here: 3m; that means 3m distance between the hull and the longitudinal side of the collo on the berth; the reason for this may be a fender with a diameter of about 1m and a restriction for heavy loads at the end of the berth of 2m!, in any case ask the harbour master to find out the correct figures!).
6. Adjust the “lcg” and “tcg” value of the collo by the spin buttons (up/down).If you change now the t.c.g. value it is not possible to move the collo closer than 3m to the vessel
After you have completed all entries the main window may appear as follows:
7.6.1.2 loading a heavy cargo piece (collo)
Briese vessels:
See also the “PROCEDURE GUIDE for HEAVY LIFTS” in the circular folder
Procedure:
1. Adjust the maximum initial stability by using the appropriate modules (e.g. tank module etc.)
2. Adjust the heeling tanks in the menu “tanks”.
3. Select “crane1”, “crane2” or “both” by clicking on the appropriate function button.
4. In case of “both” adjust by spin buttons (up/down) the “traverse length” can also mean the longitudinal distance between the hooks if the collo is connected directly to the cranes e.g. by wires without using a traverse = crossbar.
5. In case of “both” adjust the “traverse weight” plus weights of wires etc. by using the spin buttons (up/down).
6. Display the working area of the cranes by clicking on the button “working area”.
7. Adjust the correct lcg and tcg value by the spin buttons (up/down).
8. Click on the button “lift” (according the inputs for “traverse length” and the collo data the crane jibs will move over the real centre of gravity of the collo.
When the “lift” button is activated it is not possible to change the inputs except “distance collo-shell”!
9. Lift up the collo by using the spin button (up) until the vessel gets a slight list by watching the display for “crane list”. (Do not exceed 3°  figures become a red colour; more than 5° is not allowed  whole field becomes a light red colour!)
The weight of the collo is displayed right of the slash! The weight loaded/discharged is displayed left of the slash!
10. Activate the heeling tanks by clicking on them and transfer ballast by using the spin buttons (up = transfer to PS/down = transfer to SB) until the collo is loaded (will jump to the rope wheel at the jibs’ ends!). Watch the display for “crane GZ (10°)” and “crane list” and trim “trm”. If you get out of range the colour(s) will change to red.
11. Move the collo to the final loading position by using the four (4) direction buttons. Transfer ballast to keep the vessel upright.
12. Lower down the collo (here: on the tankdeck) by using the spin button (down) and deactivate the “lift” button to release the collo.
The heeling tanks can also be operated single by using the spin buttons (up = fill/down = empty).
If the SWL of each crane is exceeded the button “crane 1” and/or “crane 2” will appear in a red colour.

2. If there is more than one load case stored on the floppy disk select the correct one by using the spin buttons (up/down).

9. Practical advices to use this program
In case you will receive an update of this program it is necessary to delete the old version from your hard disk.
Before you do so you must save all your load cases if you want to use them furthermore. All load cases are stored in “C:\colos_win\archiv”. Each load case is stored here as separate folder. These except the “light ship” one you must shift to another place of your hard disk or you must save it on CD-ROM or memory stick.
If you keep “light ship” out of the old version this may cause problems if you overwrite the automatically installed new “light ship” folder of the new version by the old one.
Not to loose your individual settings concerning “free input” and “covers” it is necessary to create for example a “light ship basic” and save it always on floppy disk, CD-ROM or memory stick etc. before installing a new version or generally the program for example after “format C:\” of your hard disk because of hard disk problems (viruses etc.).
