Application of Hatch Covers

Marine hatch covers are used to block harsh environments, prevent the hull, protect the internal structure of the boat, avoid aging and natural erosion, and protect cargo from moisture and damage.

Manhole covers and small hatch covers, allow mariners to access and leave the ship cabin, inspect water tanks, fuel tanks, ship interiors and passages.

Since defective quality hatch covers can cause safety hazards, maritime authorities have strict requirements for hatch covers. OUCO provides classification society certification and factory testing for all hatch covers, with higher safety standards.
