“High quality hatches to provide quick and safe access to watertight compartments on board a ship, offshore platform or similar marine installation”
Our watertight hatches are produced to your specific requirements and can fit flush with the deck or be raised above deck High quality Watertight Hatches from LMS.
Overview:
Access may be required to a watertight compartment on a ship or vessel after a hull breach, where the compartment has been flooded. Watertight hatches are therefore specifically designed to access compartments within a ship which are watertight.
This does not only necessarily apply to compartments within a shipping vessel – it can also include any marine environment where a watertight hatch solution is required. Offshore drilling platforms, containers and other marine structures often have the need for watertight hatches.
