How does a side-rolling, chain-drive “piggy-back” hatch cover work?
A dumb panel with no wheels is lifted by hydraulic lift cylinders fitted to the coaming, a rolling panel is moved underneath it and the dumb panel is lowered onto the rolling panel, which is then driven to one side as the hatch is opened.

Watertightness, as established by a hose test or equivalent.
Thickness measurements of plate and structural stiffeners.

Which of the following is the definition of “steel-to-steel geometry” as explained in this module?
The hatch cover is designed such that when it rests, with steel-to-steel contact between the side plate or the support pads and the coaming, the geometric relationship between the compression bar and the seal rubber is exactly right.
The hatch coamings are designed such that when the hatch cover rests on the seal, with continuous and even contact between the compression bar and the seal rubber along the length of the hold opening perimeter, the geometric relationship between the support pads and the coaming is exactly right.
The tolerances during manufacture of hatch covers are less than 0,01 % of the side plate thickness.

Which of the following is the definition of “weather tightness”, as given in this program?
That in any sea condition water will not penetrate into the ship.
That in normal sea conditions, any water ingress past the hatch seals can be suitably controlled without the application of additional defensive measures.
That a minimal amount of water will penetrate if the hatch is impacted by excessively heavy weather conditions.
As identified in the applicable reading drawn from the IACS empirical scale for hatch cover thickness, based on distance from the bow of the ship.

Which of the following may be seen as arguments against using hatch sealing tape? Select all applicable answers:
It can lead to a false sense of security.
If the tape is applied over cross-joint drain holes, any water ingress due to partial loss of the tape is trapped in the cross-joint.
Complete sealing of the cross-joint is usually difficult because of the various cleats and other units across the joint.
The tape can cause deterioration and accelerated corrosion of the coating system at the cross-joint.

Which of the following procedures should be followed immediately after replacing a hatch seal?
The seal compression should be measured and recorded.
The lid should be closed as tightly as possible and left closed until arrival in the next port.
The groove in the seal should be measured in the forward corners of the hatch.
The appearance of the new seal should be compared to that of the old seal.

Why is a chalk test considered to have limited value in establishing the water tightness of a cargo hatch cover?
Because it gives no indication of the amount of seal compression that exists when the ship is actually underway in a seaway.
Because it does not show where the rubber comes into contact with the compression bar.
Because it is out carried out at sea.
Because it is carried out before any cargo is loaded.
Because compression of the seal is marginal.
Принять ответ
Why might a chalk test be favoured over other forms of test in certain circumstances?
If loading has already been completed and there are suspicions that a hose test could present a risk to that cargo.
Because it gives a more reliable indication of conditions prevailing when the ship is at sea.
Because it delivers a more even measurement of the seal around the entire hatch coaming.
Because it is the method most favoured by cargo surveyors.

You are on board a bulk-carrier, in ballast, at sea. You are to clean and examine the inner faces of the side-rolling hatch covers on no 2 hold. What particular safety measure is required?

Nothing particular is required.
Ensure the covers can move freely at any time.
All personnel not directly involved in the inspection should leave the deck.
Personnel should be instructed not to climb up onto the hatch cover at any time.
