“The turbulent bulk carrier market and increasingly stringent


regulations are forcing operators to improve their vessels and
fleets. GL has engineered a range of advanced tools that do
just that. We work together with shipowners, shipyards and
designers to boost the design of bulk carriers for future-proof
transport.”

GL tools for smart bulk cargo transport


Germanischer Lloyd offers two key software tools for ensuring
compliance with the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes
(IMSBC) Code: GL PROTOS and GL Cargo. They not only ensure
compliance with carriage of solid bulk cargo, but also enable
easy management of moving dangerous goods.

GL PROTOS provides invaluable advice to shipowners, operators


and shipyards, reduces handling time and provides ships with
a Document of Compliance for the Carriage of Solid Bulk
Cargoes specifying the ship’s fitness in detail.

The GL Cargo database service allows users easy access to all


equipment requirements onboard a vessel. With GL Cargo, the
user can tick off the types of cargo space and goods classes,
and then leave the remaining work to the system, which auto-
