CargoSurveyor Tools vs Tanker - The Sounding App Usage & Stats
The most complete toolset for cargo and bunker surveyors, as well as other professionals in the oil industry!
The app replaces laptop, hard copy ASTM tables and printed company forms used by cargo surveyors on board oil tankers.
Do your complete cargo survey with this app and produce:
- ullage reports
- transfer summaries
- bunker survey reports
- notices of discrepancy
- statements of facts
- VEF reports
- slop reports
- sampling reports
- preloading reports
- reference heights and raw measurements reports
- OBQ and ROB reports
- time sheets
- Hatch and cargo valve sealing records
- Records of heating coil tightness testing
- Records of Discharge Agreements
- ship particulars
Reports can be emailed directly from the app as a pdf attachment, and can be saved automatically to the camera roll as png files, which can be transferred to a desktop computer for printing. Also file sharing is enabled so users can download the pdf files using iTunes.
All reports can be written using either SI Metric or Imperial standards, using mixed units in the respective editors as required by the user. The user can e.g. enter temperatures in deg C while producing an ullage report, but have the report printed using deg F by setting the environment to Imperial standard etc.
Weights and volumes can be calculated using both SI metric and Imperial standards, and both the ASTM 1980 and 2004 version tables are included for the user to choose from.
The app can calculate for crude oil, products, lubrication oils and special applications such as denatured ethanol.
To assist with OBQ/ROB quantity calculation, a configurable wedge calculator is included which accepts input in both SI Metric and Imperial units. The user can choose whether to use table volume data or tank dimensions for the wedge calculation.
In the general settings screen the user can choose whether calculations are done using Si Metric or Imperial units, and whether ASTM tables version 1980 or 2004 is used.
All calculations are done conform the latest API MPMS recommendations.
In the report settings screen the user can import his company logo by emailing his logo picture to the phone and saving it in the camera roll. At any one time two logos can be saved, one as the default and one as the active logo.
Also in the report settings screen two default email addresses can be entered using the address book.
The notices of discrepancy and statement of facts section contains a number of templates as well as a fully customisable version of each.
Ullage reports are fully configurable regarding number of tanks (maximum is 23 tanks), with as many grades as required, and ullages/temperatures/volumes/densities can be entered as either SI Metric or Imperial units. Inline conversion for all of these can be done within the app by pressing the appropriate unit button.
There is no limit to the number of reports that can be saved. Existing reports can be copied and used as a template for the next project.
The user can name any report that he creates in any way he likes, bearing in mind that spaces are automatically replaced with underscores, and names should only start with a letter, not a number or other character. A bottom lines calculator as well as a pre-cargo matrix (for checking suitability to load the next cargo and check tank cleaning requirements) have been added to the app.

Tanker brings your vessel’s sounding tables to your device enabling you to see how much volume of product is in your tank at the tube. There’s no need to wear out your sounding table pages or wait to calculate soundings at a desk. Tanker calculates soundings for you enabling you to make faster decisions during bunkering or quickly assess how much product to order.
There’s two major parts to Tanker which are Sounder and Editor. In order to use the app, you must first add your sounding tables in Editor. Sounding tables can either be added manually or imported via CSV. Adding the tables are the most tedious part of the app but worth it in the end and a Cadet can do it. Once the sounding tables are added, they can easily be shared via AirDrop from tankerman to tankerman.
Sounder is what Tanker is all about. Select your vessel, product and start sounding. Sounder works in Imperial or Metric Units depending on how the vessel is setup in Editor. For each tank, all you have to do is enter the sounding in feet-inches or meters-centimeters and you instantly get your volume in gallons or cubic meters. Hit Calculate and all of the volumes will be added. Interpolations are calculated if your sounding is in between two measurements. Sounder has some features to better assist…
Bunkering
Toggle on Bunkering mode and you’ll be able to track your bunkering process and predict how long it takes based on the volumetric flow rate.
Safe Fill
This goes hand in hand with Bunkering. Save Fill allows you to set a percentage of product you want and each tank will tell you what height/volume that percentage is as well as determine how much product to add in each tank without overfilling.
Unit Conversions
Depending on your situation, you may want to convert your volumes to another unit or unique units such as Barrels and Buckets (5 gal).
Thermal Expansion
If your vessel requires mass calculations, enable Thermal Expansion in Settings to see how much tons of product you have onboard.
History
Sounder saves your sounding history every time you calculate your total. History allows you to copy the results to your clipboard and easily paste to vessel management app..lkd./
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.
Disclaimer
By downloading this app, the user is in agreement to the developer's Terms and Conditions that the developer is not responsible any error in data the user may input that could cause any mishap or miscalculation. This app is intended as an aid beside the vessels existing means of calculating soundings. It's always good to double check the sounding table data inputted into the app and results that come out. Use the app responsibly.
