“I’ve used Milbros for around 10 years now at three different companies before joining Norstar. With Milbros the information is all in one place, at our fingertips in seconds. We look up potential cargoes we may fix, check the specific gravity and cargo restrictions, so that we can quickly figure out stowage and how it might interact with other chemicals we have on board. It is great for checking time estimates for cleaning in order to confirm the timelines we are given by the Captains.”
Operations Leader | Norstar
“We find Milbros to be a valuable tool for evaluating the carriage requirements for the many chemical cargoes being quoted in the market. Operators can quickly find all the information needed to determine the proper stowage on board. Milbros is very responsive to cargo questions and they update the data base with new cargoes shortly after the cargoes have been evaluated by the IMO. The system is customizable to suit company requirements and features such as the Booking List and vessel tank plans are very useful tools.”
