SecureLoad Systems Wins Innovation Award for Loading & Stability at Ship Technology Excellence Awards 2025
SecureLoad has been named the winner of the Innovation award in the Loading & Stability category at the 2025 Ship Technology Excellence Awards.
The Ship Technology Excellence Awards celebrate achievements and innovations across the industry and provide a platform to recognise companies driving change. The programme is powered by GlobalData’s business intelligence.
Closing A Persistent Workflow Gap in Loading and Stability
Across fleets, loading and stability work is still too often managed across a mix of legacy tools, spreadsheets, and hand-offs creating version drift, inconsistent execution, and decisions that can be difficult to reproduce later. SecureLoad was built to close that gap by unifying critical checks and approvals into a single, modern workflow that works for both ship and shore teams.
“Cargo planning should be fast, safe, and transparent, and it needs to be defensible,” said Nikhil Mathew, CEO, SecureLoad Systems. “This award is meaningful because it recognises the operational gap, we set out to solve bringing loading, stability, strength, and ballast planning into one continuous workflow, with ship and shore teams working from the same approved model.”
Binoy Pilakkat, CTO, SecureLoad Systems, added: “Innovation in this space is not about adding more screens. It’s about workflow integrity, repeatability, auditability, and reducing reliance on tribal knowledge under real operational constraints. We’re proud of what the team has built, and we remain focused on strengthening the platform and scaling it responsibly.”
Why SecureLoad Stood Out
-
Unified Ship–shore Engine: The same planning and calculation core runs Onboard (vessel, offline-capable) and in the Cloud (office), eliminating version drift and file-based handoffs.
-
Interactive 3D + Physics-grade Checks: Mesh-based cargo models linked directly to stability and longitudinal strength calculations, so clearance, securing, and compliance are proven during planning, not after.
-
Computed Ballast Optimisation: A solver recommends tank fillings under real operational constraints, with optional integration to Hoppe ballast control systems.
-
Operational Sequencing: Step-based workflows model load-in, lift-on, ballast transfers, and crane operations in one continuous plan, preserving context for approvals and execution.
-
Proven in Complex Operations: SecureLoad is deployed on Rotra Futura and Rotra Horizon (next-generation MPP heavy-lift, wind components) and on OBANA (world’s largest jack-up) for offshore decommissioning, where lift and ballast conditions must be simulated and verified before execution.
