| Hatchway coaming | Food & Agriculture | The vertical plating built around a hatchway to prevent water from getting below, to serve as framework for the strongbacks, hatch covers, and so on, and to secure the tarpaulins. Its purpose is also to stiffen the edges of the hatch openings thereby restoring the strength lost to the deck by cutting these openings. Source: European Union. (references) | |
