The updated version, which has been offered free of charge to the industry, helps designers to perform rule calculations in line with the CSR BC & OT and optimise their designs.

Designed to improve user interface performance, the latest HCSR version has been developed on the basis of ClassNK’s existing software.

Additionally, its initial design function can now be used for structural arrangements such as engine rooms, in addition to the cargo hold region of the ship.

Till February, ClassNK provided over 800 HCSR software licenses to more than 90 shipyards.
