in previous arrangement. Thus the number of heavy components to be lifted every time the hatch was opened and closed would have been reduced from eleven to four. Figure 1.1 Simplified arrangement of a traditional hatch Source: Cargo Access Equipment for Merchant Ships. This arrangement also had the advantage of being safer than the earlier one. As hatches became longer it becomes increasingly necessary to fit force and afters in several actions. These were more difficult to ship when battening down that those modes in one piece, since at least one end of each section had to be positioned on a seat attached to a traverse web before the hatch board could be put on. This meant that the man had to sit astride the web, over the open hold, to guide into place a very dangerous practice. Atharwdship hatch boards and fore and afters continued to be used well into 20 th century although the longitudinal arrangement gradually replaced them. After the implantation of the 1930 international load line conventions fore and after were only found in ships with very small hatches. 4
All types of wooden hatch were made watertight by means of tarpaulins and this method is still employed in those ships with traditional hatches that remain in service. The use of wooden hatch cover has declined throughout much of this century to the extent that it is now almost unthinkable that they should be fitted in modern vessel of any size. It is interesting therefore, to consider the reason for their demise. These fall into three broad categories, namely safety and security, cargo working and maintenance. 1.3 FAILINGS OF WOODEN HATCHES 1.3.1 Safety and Security It is impossible to exaggerate the importance and secure hatch covers; there can be no question that a ship’s survival may depend upon having them. But how efficient are wooden hatch covers? Tarpaulins are the most vulnerable component of traditional hatch covers. There are several common reasons for tarpaulin failure. Slackening of wedges is one of the most important factor. Chaffing is another serious source of weakness, especially at the coamings. Tarpaulins are also liable to suffer damage every time that they are removed for working cargo. Security of the wooden hatches also arose as a result of the comparatively large size of the hatchways of many of the ships, especially colliers, then entering service. Not only were the hatchways longer and wider than had been the customs up to that time, but the ratio of hatch width to overall beam was often greater too. This was particularly apparent in ships employed in the carriage of bulk cargoes and some of the most extreme examples were to be amongst self-trimming colliers where hatch width/ship beam ratios often exceed 0.6. Individual hatch boards were laid loosely on top of the beams in a normal hatchway and they could easily be shipped accidently. In order to prevent this, interlocking boards were developed. These could be handled manually in the usual manner but once landed on the beams; they were retained in place by a simple locking device which was claimed by its manufacturer to enhance the safety of a ship, should it lose its tarpaulins, by preventing the boards from being washed away by the sea. 5
