We are excited to introduce the latest release of SimpleStow, version 2.6.1.

This iteration represents a significant advancement of our well-established SimpleStow application, widely utilized by ship planners across the globe in container terminals and shipping line offices.

In addition to enhancing the overall program performance, version 2.6.1 brings substantial improvements to both the user interface and program functionality. Key enhancements include:

• The graphical user interface now supports the opening of multiple Bay View windows, providing users with greater ease in inspecting container stowage within specific bays. This feature also facilitates the modeling and simulation of container restows and shifting during voyages at intermediate ports.
• Users can now open multiple Cargo List windows, format each window according to their needs, choosing data columns' content and positions. The information in each window can be independently sorted and filtered.  The desktop can be arranged, for example, to display stowed containers in one window, projection containers, or containers yet to be stowed – in another, and the list of restowed containers in a separate window. This aids in efficiently monitoring the entire stowage condition of the ship.
• Enhanced Handling of all types of standard ISO containers. Now SimpleStow recognizes not only marine 20- and 40-ft containers, but also the entire array of other types of ISO containers, including Out-of-Gauge under- and oversized containers assigned BIC container type codes. Users also have the flexibility to define custom container types entering their exact dimensions. Then SimpleStow will handle them the same way as the standard ISO container types.

We welcome both our existing and new customers to download and experience the new features in SimpleStow version 2.6.1.
