Read full description

MetaCAD Pocket is the iPhone and iPad companion to metacad.io for practical marine work. Open a tool, keep its work on your device, and return when you need it. MARINE QUICK TOOLS Use the searchable library for passage time, required speed, current set and drift, fuel planning, endurance, bunkering, cargo work, stowage factor, under-keel clearance, and compass course. See the input assumptions and save results as local Cases linked to a Vessel profile. SEA SERVICE & USCG FORMS Keep service days by vessel, review gaps and calculations, and prepare unsigned CG-719S drafts and Sea Service Letters from the same records. Preview forms and review preparation checks before sharing. The journal and previews are free. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks PDF export; there is no subscription. The App Store displays the current price. SHIP STABILITY Run advisory checks for corrected GM, free surface, cargo moves and additions, heel, roll period, and water-density draft change. WORK ON YOUR DEVICE Saved Cases and sea service records stay on this device. Open metacad.io for more marine calculators and guides; the website does not automatically sync Pocket records. Important: Sea service forms are unsigned drafts for your review, not a guarantee of USCG acceptance. Stability and quick-tool results are advisory and are not an approved loading computer or substitute for voyage planning. Verify inputs and results against vessel documents, applicable rules, and professional judgement.
