What is wooden hatch cover?

 Hatch covers are used to cover and protect the cargo in the cargo spaces. Hatch covers
close off the hatch opening and makes it water tight. In the days of wooden ships, the
hatch covers were made of wooden planks, beams and boards and were covered with
tarpaulins. Wooden hatch covers had many drawbacks. Mainly, they used to get spoilt
due to continuous exposure to the moisture laden sea winds. Rain and sea water also
used to produce detrimental effects on the wooden hatch covers. But with the advent of
steel, the wooden hatch covers started disappearing. Nowadays, mostly steel hatch
covers are used. The most common type of hatch cover used today consists of a
number of steel covers linked together. The design of a hatch cover changes according
to the size and design of the ship, but most of the designs are made to make the
opening and closing of the covers as quick as possible in order to facilitate faster cargo
handing process.
 What is Winches?

 A winch is a mechanical device that is used to pull in (wind up) or let out (wind
out) or otherwise adjust the "tension" of a rope or wire rope (also called "cable" or
"wire cable"). In its simplest form it consists of a spool and attached hand crank.
In larger forms, winches stand at the heart of machines as diverse as tow
trucks, steam shovels and elevators. The spool can also be called the winch
drum. More elaborate designs have gear assemblies and can be powered by
electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or internal combustion drives. Some may include
a solenoid brake and/or a mechanical brake or ratchet and pawl device that
prevents it from unwinding unless the pawl is retracted.
Folding type
Folding type hatch covers consists of two flat type topped panels which are operated via
hydraulic arms. These may be fitted on both weather deck as well as tween deck. A
major advantage in the design of folding type hatch covers is its large size which means
less number of panels.

Rolling type
Rolling type hatch covers consists of two covers at the end of the hatchway. Wheels are
fitted which help in the sliding of the panel either athwartship in case of side rolling or
longitudinally in case of end rolling. These type of hatch covers are usually fitted on
large ships. Hydraulic rams are required to raise them to rolling position as they are
extremely heavy and have very large dimensions.

Lifting type
Lift away type hatch covers can be classified into two types –

a) Single panel covers,

b) Multi panel covers.

Single panel cover consists of a single cover for each opening, these can be seen
mainly on bulk carriers. In case of multi panel covers, a single hold is covered via
multiple number of covers, these are most commonly observed in cellular container
ships in the case of longitudinal joints, and for multipurpose cargo ship in case of
transverse joints.

Stacking cover type

These type of facility are used on ships having relatively smaller hatch cover. It consists
of a hydraulically powered lifting crane facility whose purpose is to lift the covers
longitudinally and stack it together at one end or over any empty stowage tank. It is
relatively cheap and is used mostly in barges.
Designing a hatch cover does not mean just designing the cover and its coaming, there
are various key components which ensure that the hatch cover stays intact and effective
for a very long period. The key parts are as follows –

 Bearing pads
 Securing devices: cleats & wedges
 Pontoons and panels
 Operating mechanism
 Stoppers
 Drains & non return valves
 Compression bars
