This comprehensive reference work is known as "the hatch cover bible". It discusses the types of hatch cover in use along with their closing and securing appliances. It will be of great practical value to anyone whose work involves hatch covers, whether as a crew member, inspector, surveyor, maintenance engineer or superintendent.
"Hatch covers are worked hard... and need to be treated with respect", states Robbie Middleton FNI in the Foreword. Middleton summarises the principle underlying the book: "Take care of your hatches and they will take care of you".
Walter Vervloesem uses his unrivalled experience as a surveyor and training instructor to show the reader how to take care of hatches in this authoritative and clearly written guide.
With the aid of more than 300 photographs, Vervloesem illustrates frequently found defects in hatch panels and coamings, sealing systems, bearing pads, securing devices, drain systems, hydraulic equipment, and openings and ports, including their key components. The book concludes with guidance on inspections and testing methods, which includes a useful example of a visual hatch cover inspection report.
