People have been shipping and loading cargoes in large amounts for 100 years. To get the most benefits of bulk carriers, i.e., get the maximum profit, bulk carrier must be able to be loaded with different cargo types. The overwhelming majority of these shipments are prepared easily without any restraints so there are a great loss of ships and lives. The reports show that to get the most benefits of bulk carriers, it must be loaded with different cargo types after applying the stability and strength criteria. In this research paper, the result of the existing bulk carrier’s case study has been carried out computationally to investigate the effect of the loading conditions. Also, the effect of bulk cargo types on the ship’s stability conditions. Then, the significant factor has been taken into consideration. This factor has an impact on loading various cargoes with different characteristics in different stability and strength conditions. The results of the calculations have been observed in the graphical curves that can be used for enabling the loading on the board of the ship within minimum time, less cost, and maximum profits. In order to save the time for next journey with less expenses and maximum profits. This research paper gives the seafarers some graphical curves that help the ship’s captain to obtain a sufficient ship’s loading, freight rate and efficient ship’s capacity. In this research, a bulk carrier vessel has been investigated by using Auto hydro and Auto ship programs. Some considered calculations have been done properlyabout the ship stability in both cases, intact and damaged. So, the results indicate that the research idea can improve the accuracy of applying some specific curves for the suitable cargoes.
