The present invention is a hatch cover having, a novel construction for container ships . The present invention will obviate the need of lashing equipment as is currently used for the 'on deck' carriage of containers. It comprises a system involving the continuation of cell guides (1) direct from the hold (17) through to above the main deck to the required height. Individual hatch cover panels (2) for each row are then placed on each row to divide the hold stack from the deck stack; the hold stack being the stack of containers (7) inside the holds while the deck stack is the stack of the containers (7) on the deck of the ship. The individual hatch covers (2) are designed accordingly to fit into the cell guides (1) and also to considerably reduce water ingress to the hold. The construction of the hatch cover (2) is in such a way that it facilitates weather tightness . |
