Vehicle Length and Deck Space Calculation
Vehicle Length & Deck Planning for Ferry and Ro-Ro Lines
Smart space management for ferries and Ro-Ro operations.
Ferry Software gives you full control over every meter of your deck. With automatic vehicle length calculation and real-time deck space management, you optimize every departure — efficiently, safely and profitably.
The system automatically calculates vehicle lengths, loading order and remaining capacity.
Whether for passenger cars, trailers, trucks or freight units — Ferry Software keeps an exact overview of how much space is available and how it’s used.
