About this deal
hydraulic drop down or upward opening sides (on gas struts) – lifting arms / rams installed onto container side
Side-rolling hatch covers are made up of two panels that roll sideways on a pair of transverse ramps.Concept of hatchless container ships can be considered as a revolutionary change in the field of cargo ship design. This can be understood well if we look into the disadvantages of having hatch covered container ship. Even though taking care of hatch covers is not supposed to be difficult, it happens very frequently that maintenance on hatch covers is neglected, and hatch covers do not get the attention they deserve. Large bulk carriers, such as Panamax and Capesize vessels, frequently use side-rolling hatch covers.
Second, when empty it is subjected to torsion and hence these ships have relatively large torsion boxes.
