have bronze oil impregnated thrust bearing with stainless
steel hinge pins
Hinges (Watertight Door)
secure door create watertight seal with evenly distributed
pressure on compression gasket
Handles (Watertight Door)
are designed to completely block water flow in both directions, even when under significant water pressure from either side.
Watertight doors
while also designed to resist water intrusion, are primarily meant to withstand brief periods of submersion and harsh weather conditions
Weathertight doors
They’re built to withstand prolonged submersion and are typically found below the waterline in areas like shaft tunnels, ballast tanks, and bow thruster compartments
Watertight doors
They’re located above the waterline and protect against external
elements like wind, rain, and spray
Weathertight doors
are designed to block water from both sides, protecting the
ship’s compartments.
Watertight doors
They are typically found below deck and may operate
automatically or manually, opening and closing upwards or sideways.
Watertight doors
ships that have watertight doors.
Many car
carriers and roll-on/roll-off
Regulations require a system to remotely monitor the status
of these doors.
Watertight doors
can be breached through any activity or happening that allows the ingress of water in unwanted areas or compartments of the vessel.
Watertight integrity
Watertight integrity can be breached through any activity
or happening that allows the ingress of water in unwanted
areas or compartments of the vessel.

rubber seals, screw threads
and other locking devices
are manually operated devices that lock into a latching
system on the door frame. Once activated, they firmly secure
the door, preventing it from opening under pressure.
Dog Levers
For heightened security, dog levers are often used in tandem with
wedges.
are small, tapered pieces that fit into slots on the door frame, physically preventing the door from opening.
Wedges
They offer extra security, particularly in vital areas like engine rooms and watertight bulkheads.
Wedges
Since dog levers are what firmly secure the door,
regularly being used to close and open it, these _
easily get chipped off of paint - exposing it to
weathering
arms
are the door’s physical piece that choke the dog lever’s arm to the door seal,
wedges
are also susceptible to chipping and therefore exposure to weathering which in tur tendencies to corrosion
wedges
To ensure the optimal functioning of door dog levers,
implement the following maintenance practices:
- Visual Inspection: for signs of wear and tear, damage
or corrosion. Check for and tighten any loose parts. - Functional Testing: to confirm the smooth operation of
the lever handle which securely locks the door in place - Cleaning: of the lever and surrounding area to remove
any corrosion, salt deposits, or other contaminants.
4.Lubrication: of the lever’s moving parts and latching
mechanisms with moderate amount of lubricant
need to possess the greatest resilience to pressure.
levers and
hinges
The ship’s planned maintenance system must be followed
for carrying out routine inspection and maintenance on
watertight doors which should include the correct
functioning of the whole system - including its
dog levers
hinges,
rubber
seals,
electric/hydraulic
systems (if
applicable), and
monitoring
panels (which
includes
warning devices and alarms)
are specialized hinges typically constructed from high-quality materials durably resisting corrosion.
Watertight door hinges
It is designed to withstand high pressure and prevent water
leakage, ensuring the integrity of watertight compartments on ships and other marine structures.
