3 3 ZAKOS LPG CARGO SURVEY REPORT GENERATOR Program for Windows The LPG CARGO SURVEY REPORT GENERATOR is a fourth generation Integrated software package for the Cargo calculation of a Tanker Ship. The package is a menu driven and does not require any previous experience on the use of computers. The LPG CARGO SURVEY REPORT GENERATOR has been designed and is ideally suited to assist ship s officers for the Cargo calculation of a Tanker Ship. The examples that will be shown and described are hypothetical and do NOT correspont to the ship s tank Sound and Volumes from the Tank Ullage Tables. The example bellow is refered to a Demo Vessel
