Tanker helps marine engineers or tankermen calculate soundings on the fly without having to look through a sounding tables book or a go to a desktop. Get instant results at the sounding tube! Not only does it make it easier, but could potentially make product transfers safer as the person in charge (PIC) can see how much free space is left in each tank to make confident decisions on when to swap tanks.

Key Features

Sounder
Pick your vessel and take soundings on the fly! The sounder finds the volume for each sounding at a specified trim. Once all of the information is entered, hit Calculate and all of the soundings will be added up. You can even see the maximum capacities and percentages of each tank and all tanks combined as well. Currently handles US Units (feet, inches, and gallons) and SI Units (meters, centimeters, and cubic meters). Safe Fill is an optional setting that can be toggled on to show where you tanks can be filled at a certain percentage. This is great when bunkering. Speaking of bunkering, you can toggle bunker mode and track your progress.

Editor
Before you can calculate soundings, you will need to add your vessel's data. The editor walks you through in adding soundings to the ship in order: Vessels->Products->Tanks->Trims->Soundings. There's three ways to add soundings in Editor: conventional, express, and import. The conventional way is to just add a sounding one by one which can be very tedious. The preferred way is Express Editor. Tap on the green rabbit button and all you have to do is enter the volumes as you go up the tank height. The third way is import via .CSV. Let's say you have sounding tables already typed out in Excel, you can move those to the preferred format and import via Files or iTunes.

Share Data
You can share tank data via AirDrop to another engineer by simply going into the vessel's menu in Sounder and hitting the share button on the upper right corner. This will share the vessel and it's data to the other engineer so he/she doesn't have to manually enter the sounding data in editor.

Widgets
Tanker supports Home Screen Widgets. View your last sounding made on the app in three different sizes. Small size just shows the total percentage sounded, Medium size shows the last sounding and total percentage, and Large size shows the last sounding and total percentage for vessels with more tanks.
