With ever more efficient cargo working in port being the objective, modern dry cargo vessels are tending to develop to a more ‘open’ trend, i.e. the size of the hatches compared with the deck area is growing. This implies that there is less stowage space available for the hatch covers, which has made the high-stowing hydraulic folding covers very popular.

We have a wide range of basic hatch cover designs, which includes both hydraulic and non-hydraulic operated covers. These items include pontoon, hinged, folding, side rolling, and simple pull covers for weather decks as well as multi-stacking, folding, and sliding covers for tween decks.

Single-panel types comprise one cover for each opening i.e. there are no joints. They are normally specified for bulk carriers in the case of single-opening abreast, and for cellular container ships in the case of multi-opening abreast configurations.

Piggy-back hatch covers are used on bulk carriers when the available deck space is insufficient to accommodate folding, side-rolling or end-rolling covers.

|
Side-rolling and end-rolling hatch covers are popular for use on the weatherdecks of larger bulk carriers such as Panamax and Capesize types. In the case of ore/bulk/oil (OBO’s) and ore/oil carriers, the covers are designed to sustain internal liquid loads.
