Crew can put a stop to hatch lifting System wins plaudits from class

摘要

Working on behalf of Danish shipping company Torm, Carl Bro Dwinger Marine-consult has developed a unique type of hatchcover stopper to comply with new requirements for bulk carriers, producing a cost-effective solution that has drawn praise from classification society DNV. The new stoppers are particularly interesting because, while the bulker modifications required by recent legislation has often had to be done at ship or repair yards, Dwinger Marineconsult's stoppers are simple enough to be installed by suitably-qualified crew members. This will allow operators to meet compliance deadlines without disrupting their schedules.
