Bollard Pull App – Manora Logistics

Interactive tool for tug capacity planning and feasibility reporting

To support Manora Logistics, TWD developed an intuitive web application that automates bollard pull calculations for any deck layout or barge configuration. The tool streamlines technical assessments and generates structured reports for both the employer and the marine warranty surveyor. Its modular setup also supports early-stage feasibility checks for upcoming projects and tenders.

Project highlights

• Automatically calculates required towline pull for holding and sailing conditions
• Determines bollard pull for any barge with customisable deck components
• Supports sales teams with fast, data-driven tug selection
• Generates comprehensive engineering reports in just minutes

“Manora Logistics has significantly improved its bollard pull calculations with this app, transforming a rather complex and time-consuming process into an efficient task. It simplifies data input, accelerates results, and empowers our team to make faster, more accurate decisions in real-time. On top of that, it generates a clear report, ready to be sent to clients and surveyors.” – Wim Dierckx, Project Manager at Manora Logistics
