Proven Performance

With over 2,500 vessels and 150 offshore structures relying on Kongsberg loading computers, K-Load is a trusted solution for load and stability management across the maritime industry.

Technology Origins

K-Load builds on Consultas’ C-Loading software and Lodic’s legacy in hydrostatics and stability calculations. Lodic originated from MARINTEK and the SINTEF Group in Trondheim, Norway, and has been a pioneer in offshore operations since the 1970s.

Future-Ready Integration

Kongsberg Maritime is merging K-Load and Lodic into a single, unified solution. This next-generation system will integrate with K-Chief and K-Gauge, supporting autonomy, sensor validation, optimisation, and advisory services. Both current systems will remain supported during the transition.
