Hatch covers of ships are designed to be efficient and cost effective, as an initial investment and during service, and at the same time should suit the demands of the various types of cargo vessels. The major objective of hatch covers on ships is to prevent the ingress of water into the cargo hold and protect the goods from being damped and damaged.
