    Hatch coamings perform the dual functions of supporting deck areas and hatch covers while also keeping water out of openings. Classification societies specify minimum heights and plate thicknesses for coamings according to location and exposure. Weather deck coamings must extend at least 610 mm above deck when covers are closed and fitted. Particular attention is paid to hatch corner construction to minimize stress concentration and avoid fractures, with structural continuity provided by extending coamings and side girders past corners.

    15.3 Hatch Coamings.

    Hatch coamings usually perform the combined functions of


    girders (supporting the adjacent areas of decks and hatch covers) and of keeping
    water out of the hatch. The latter function is particularly the duty of weather deck
    cargo hatch coamings, which must protect the hatch covers and the hatch opening
    from the sea in heavy weather. Classification society rules specify minimum
    heights, as established by the International Convention on Load Lines, and
    thicknesses of plating of hatch coamings required for seaworthiness, according to
    the location and degree of exposure of the hatch. The strength of the Coaming as
    a girder must also conform to the Rule requirements for girders.
    a. Weather Deck Hatch Coamings. A section through a typical fore-and-aft
    weather deck hatch coaming is shown in Fig. 55. On the weather portions of
    freeboard decks, the Coaming must extend at least 610 mm (24 in.) above the
    deck if the hatchway is covered and battened. It is nevertheless Usual to have
    higher coamings to avoid having to fit a temporary chain rail for personnel
    protection when the covers are open. In less exposed locations, a lesser height is
    per trotted where efficient watertight steel covers are fitted and made tight by
    means of gaskets and clamping devices, the heights of the hatch coamings may be
    reduced.
    The portion of the coaming plate below the deck is either flanged or fitted with a
    face plate. In such cases, brackets are fitted as required by the classification
    society rules. The brackets are sometimes extended to the longitudinal bulkhead
    of the torsion box to provide girder support, as has been the practice with the
    latest wide-hatch cargo vessels.
    Near the top of the coaming, an inverted angle, bulb plate, or flat bar is fitted to
    stiffen the coaming, and fastened to this will be fittings for hatch covers, such as
    wedge cleats, dogs, or roller tracks.
    b. Hatch Corner Construction. Particular care is needed at the hatch corners to
    avoid sudden discontinuity of longitudinal strength at the ends of the side
    coamings. Fractures in welded ships have originated at hatch corners, and
    considerable attention has been devoted to designing hatch corner construction
    which will minimize stress concentration.
    The hatch side girders are to be arranged not to end abruptly at the ends of the
    hatches, even if they are not required to support beams beyond the hatch end.
    They are to be extended a suitable distance past the hatch end for structural
    continuity. It is also good practice to extend the hatch coaming forward and aft of
    the hatch corner by means of taper brackets.
    Extensive structural analysis and data collection has led to the conclusion that
    corners of main hatchways should be surrounded by strengthened plates which
    are to extend over at least one frame space fore and aft, as well as athwartships
    (Ship Structure Committee, 1977—b). Well-rounded
    on strength deck openings are required by classification societies. Make the plate
    edge smooth and keep deck butts and seams clear of the corner radius.
