The hatchways are classified according to their position as

defined in Section 1, H.6.7.
For the arrangement of hatches, doors and ventilators the
following areas are defined (Section 1, H.6.7 ):
Position 1
on exposed freeboard decks,
on raised quarter decks,
on exposed superstructure decks within the forward quarter of
Lc.
Position 2
on exposed superstructure decks aft of the forward quarter of
Lc.
16
Hatchways are to have coamings, the minimum
height of which above the deck is to be as follows:
In position 1: 600 mm.
In position 2: 450 mm.
A deviation from the requirements may only be

granted for hatchways on exposed decks which are
closed by weather tight, self tightening steel covers.
The respective exemption, in accordance with LLC 66
Regulation 16(1), has to be applied for in advance
from the competent flag state authority.
17
Coamings are not required for hatchways below the

freeboard deck or within weathertight closed
superstructures unless they are required for strength
purposes.
For hatchways according to requirement above, wooden
gratings instead of hatch covers may be used; hatch
covers may also be dispensed with completely.
Where within hatch casings no hatch covers are
arranged at the deck level, covers and their supports
below are to be strengthened corresponding to the
greater load. unsolved definition
18
Structural assessment of hatch covers and hatch
coamings is to be carried out according to the design
loads:
Load case A design load for weather deck
Load case B load due to cargo which is intended to
be carried on hatch covers.
Load case C containers are stowed on hatch cover
Load case D hatch covers for hold spaces intended to
be filled with liquids
Load case E addition load due to additional permissible
stress.
Load case F Tween deck hatch covers
19
The vertical design load pH for weather deck hatch covers is to be taken
from Table below unless higher design loads are requested by the owner.
20
The design load for hatch covers of decks the
height of which above baseline is z > zfb + 2.hN
may be reduced, if the Administration
concerned agrees and if it is verified that the
load capacity of the hatch cover corresponds at
least to that of the deck beside.
21
The vertical design load pH shall in no case be

less than the deck design load according to
Section 4, B.1. Instead of the deck height z
the height of hatch cover plating above
baseline is then to be inserted.
22
The horizontal design load pA for the outer edge girders of weather deck
hatch covers and of hatch coamings is to be determined analogously as
for superstructure walls in the respective position.
For bulk carriers according to Section 23 the horizontal load shall not be
less than:
23
Where cargo is intended to be carried on

hatch covers of decks in pos. 1 and 2 hatch
covers are to be designed for the loads as
given in Section 4, C.1.
If cargo with low stowage height is carried on

weather deck hatch covers Section 4, B.13 is
to be observed.
24
Where containers are
stowed on hatch covers of
hatch in pos. 1 and 2 the
following loads due to the
ship's rolling motion are to
be considered.
25
The load cases B and C are also to be considered

for partial loading which may occur in practice,
e.g. where specified container stack places are
empty.
The design load for other cargo than containers
subject to lifting forces is to be determined
separately.
In case of container stacks secured to lashing
bridges or carried in cell guides the forces acting
on the hatch cover are to be considered.
26
Hatch covers of hold spaces intended to be
filled with liquids are to be designed for the
loads specified in Section 4, D.1. and D.2.
irrespective of the filling height of hold
spaces.
27
Hatch covers, which in addition to the loads are loaded in the ship's
transverse direction by forces due to elastic deformations of the ship's
hull, are to be so designed that the sum of stresses does not exceed the
permissible values given below:
The equivalent stress v in steel hatch cover structures related to the net
thickness shall not exceed 0,8.ReH.
28
Tweendeck hatch covers not subject to cargo
loads are to be designed for a uniformly
distributed load of 2 kN/m2 or for a single
load of 3 kN, whichever results in the stronger
scantlings.
29
Calculations are to be based on net thickness

tnet = t - tk
30
Calculations are to be based on net thickness
tnet = t - tk
Verifications according to Section 3, F. are to be
based on t = tnet and stresses corresponding to
tnet applying the safety factor S = 1,1.
See Section 3,F. for detail Calculation of

lateral buckling
31
Top plating
The thickness of the hatch cover top plating is to be
obtained from the calculation according to Section
3.F. However, the thickness shall not be less than the
largest of the following values:
32
The thickness is to be obtained from the calculation
tnet = t tk.
The thickness must not be less than the larger of the

following values:
t = 8.a
tmin = 6,0
The lower plating of hatch covers for spaces in which

liquids are carried is to be designed for the liquid
pressure and the thickness is to be determined
according to 4.1.1. (t=tnet = tk; and tmin=6,0 mm)
