JRA Load Management Systems (LMS)

"Understanding floating structure stability just got whole lot easier"

JRA is the leading provider of advanced stability and cargo management information systems for offshore floating structures. Our field proven solutions can be applied to most all types of offshore floating structures including Ships, Semi-Submersibles, MODU's, Jack-ups, Rigs, Heavy Lift Barges, Transports, Dry Docks, TLP's and SPARS. We take special pride in delivering a package that is specifically designed for the precise floating structure. We serve on design committees pushing the technical envelope.

How it works: Simple spreadsheet programs just do not have the user graphics, automation or comprehensive high value information output found in today's advanced stability programs. Our software packages use the numerical three dimensional model of the floating structure, combined with fixed, variable and dynamic discrete loading elements to determine the exact stability condition of the floating facility at any given time. The current stability condition is compared with predetermined design limits to inform when a specific stability result is outside of the parameters set by either the structure designer or operator of the platform. JRA's stability solutions are based on proven world renowned software programs revered to be the most comprehensive and user friendly software programs available today on the market. We work with these source code providers to bring hands-on attention to customer needs and configuration details.

JRA is your "one-stop" provider that manages the installation from conception through field service. We determine the system requirements, configure the software programs, incorporate selected options and provide field tested advise to the project. Our many options and configurations allow you to select what you need, how you want it to work, and when you need it...all for less cost than a few days of down time due to a stability (or) logistics related event.

Exclusive JRA options raise "stability and logistics management" to an integrated best practice

Working with data beyond the control room has always been a real challenge for most floating structures be it a ship or oil rig. Click on the links below to see a full spectrum of value these options can bring to you.

JRA Field Data Management System: The JRA - Field Data Management System (FDMS) option replaces clipboard logistics logging and provides active control of load information outside the control room...out on deck where the action is.

JRA Stability Advisory System: The JRA - Stability Advisory System (SAS) provides next generation advisory control based on recognized field proven best practices, generic and dependant floating structure stability management information.

One Source: JRA is truly your "one stop" partner for floating structure stability related concerns. We manage all aspects of concept, development, integration and commissioning using a deep understanding of the complex needs of the offshore rig and ship environment. We can "walk the talk" through many successful installations and years of shipping and oil rig experience.

With today's offshore platforms handling over 5000 lifts a year, isn't it time to get off that spreadsheet and move to "near real time" on-board information...

Start working with real stability advisory programs that can provide:

Reduction of risk of catastrophic loss
Reduction in reduced capacity or closed revenue production due to stability related incidents
Detailed analysis based on the actual numerical 3D model of the floating structure
High resolution graphics showing all views, tanks, weights and spaces
Automatic input of variable tank loads
Semi-automated "JRA - Field Data Management System" for variable weight entry and checks (optional)
"On the fly" data entry and override capability
Simulation capacity of almost any loading condition
Tabbed file structure to view variable loads (such as weights and tank conditions) at a glance
Customized set-up and reporting features
On screen current and simulated hydrostatic conditions such as current list, trim, margin and draft conditions
Intensive daily reporting at a touch of a button

When stability incidents happen, and they do happen...there is no time for laborious calculations...only rapid intelligent decisions based on the best information tools available

Here is a look at a screen shot of a leading LMS program...

Our combined value contribution delivers high return on investment...

Best in Class System: JRA Marine Advisory Systems are perhaps the most advanced stability analysis tools available today. User friendly interface, stability simulation on the fly, active sensors, visual active color graphics and powerful numerical model based analysis puts you at ease knowing at all times what your stability options are. Add exclusive power enhanced options like the JRA Field Data Management System and JRA Ballast Advisory System and you have a fully interfaced and reliable system from dock to ship and back. Work smarter and bring stability related catastrophic risk and lost revenue under control.

Sales and Application Engineering: JRA provides sales and application engineering of the basic program and all supporting information. We support clients who demand the very best in marine department risk reduction through advanced stability analysis and state of the art communication tools. From concept to life cycle support we have what it takes to bring proven technology to your team.

Application Engineering and Integration: JRA works with leading offshore programs around the world. We provide a high level of application investigation and integration that insures not only the right solution is developed but that you and your people are part of that solution at each step. Bringing automation to complex environments such as offshore requires more than delivering a manual with the product on a CD. Our multi-point set-up procedure insures you have the right baseline to start working from day one.

Training and Support: JRA assists leading training facilities and your local training needs with the very best tools and approach for training BCO, BS and OIM's on Basic and Advanced Floating Structure Stability. Whether basic stability, advanced damage stability or Stability Software, we train users...and we can train the trainers that train users. Because it is easy to understand, people begin using the programs in just minutes. Each of our training programs are developed custom to the audience.

Service: JRA services what we sell. If something happens which rarely occurs but if it does, we are ready to give whatever support is required to bring either the user or the solution back online.

Your expensive capital asset deserves the very best systems available...
