The thickness survey, from the steelto the report.
HullAtlas is three tools for the thickness
survey: a handbook of class limits, a PDF
to DXF converter for ship drawings, and
Draft Operator, which puts your readings on
the plan and exports the draft PDF.
The handbook is free. Draft Operator runs in the browser, one PC and one phone per account.
ASK IN
PLAIN WORDS
The handbook reads the class rules so you do not have to. Each answer keeps its rule, its edition note and its sources beside it.
Which rules cover this vessel? How many gauging points per plate? How do pitting criteria differ by class?
