heal.abstract	Chemical and Product Carriers (CPC) are ships licensed to carry dangerous and sensitive products in liquid form. The production of cargo distribution and cargo handling plans for CPCs are very complicated and time consuming daily tasks that are performed by experienced ship operators with the aid of software applications called loadmasters. Loadmasters, given a cargo distribution, perform hydrostatic and stability calculations. This paper describes an intelligent chemical and product carrier loadmaster that goes beyond current practice extending the capabilities of traditional loadmasters. The system designs cargo distribution plans and devises cargo handling plans for CPCs, satisfying user requirements, time and safety constraints. The paper presents in detail the overall architecture, the interface, and the kinds of knowledge exploited by the system.	en
