The hatches are calculated and have always been tested for the required water pressure. Individual certificates will be issued.
The cover is 8 mm steel, 45×20 mm EPDM shore 45 seal.
The coaming is of 8 mm steel plate material, round corners (r=100), the gasket side is rounded (r=2) to prevent damaging of the seal. Stainless steel hatch toppers are placed on the position of the closing points.
The operation is a central closed Musketeer system with stainless steel closing mechanism.

The design and manufacture of the hatches are in full compliance with the class regulations regarding hatches and can be individual approved by all major classification societies.
