SMS-SME is designing and producing various capacity ship use folding hatch covers from 3000DWT to 60000DWT Class bulk carriers driven by hyd. cylinder with control device and reliable power unit resulting more than 200 shipset. The Single folding-type Hatch Cover is a pair consisting of two panels and is driven by a hydraulic cylinder. When the cylinder pushes the panels through the end hinge arm, the hatch cover is folded and moves along the rail at the same time and opened fully. The single folding-type hatch cover can be operated from a specific hatch as necessary. SMS-SME designs and manufactures cleat, wheel, and hinge components to be placed at the most suitable location for smooth operation. The multi folding-type hatch cover consists of a Leading pair and Trailing pair driven by hydraulic cylinder and bell crank respectively. When the leading pair is folded vertically, the trailing pair is pulled up to the stowage position and all hatch covers are opened in sequence. SMS-SME minimizes the stowage space when all hatch covers are fully opened, so the loading space in the cargo hold is increased and loading/unloading of cargo can be easy. SMS-SME supplies hatch covers to multi-purpose carriers which is designed to load various types of cargoes concurrently depending on the types and routes of ships. In case of mixed types of bulk and container ships, various types of cargoes can be loaded effectively by installing folding and pontoon type hatch covers on Weather deck and Tween deck.

This type of hatch cover combines two functions – protection of the hold cargo by covering the hatches and enabling the loading of cargo on deck. Hatch covers are an integral part of the total solution package for containerships along with lashing bridges, container stanchions, and fixed and loose lashing material.

TTS side rolling hatch covers for OBO, ore, oil or similar types of ship are designed to ensure that all requirements of owners and regulatory authorities in respect of the maneuvering, cleating and tightening of the hatch cover panels are met in full.

Tweendeck hatch covers make it possible to improve cargo carrying efficiency for cargo that can not be stacked. Folding tweendeck panels Folding and multi-folding panels in cargo holds are operated hydraulically and available in various arrangements, for example two panels folded aft, four panels folded forward. Lift-away tweendeck panels Tweendeck lift-away hatch cover panels can be lifted by ship or shore-based cranes. They are supported by removable and/or foldable consoles and can be placed at several height positions depending on the cargo hold design. They can also be placed in a bulkhead position to segregate cargoes. When not in use, they can be stacked in the hold or on the weather deck. Tweendeck lift-away hatch cover panels can be designed to act as bulkheads and used to segregate cargoes. Movable bulkheads are typically operated by connecting them to weather deck folding hatch covers, or by ship or shore cranes. The bulkheads are locked into position either by manually or hydraulically-operated pins. They can be placed at several locations depending on the cargo hold design.

Moon pool hatch covers are based on standard hatch cover design principles with special attention to slamming forces and bottom sea pressure. Tailor made solutions are available upon request, depending on ship design and purpose. Top sliding Top 1 or 2 sections Top folding Bottom sliding Bottom 1 or 2 sections Bottom folding

Foldable hatch covers allow high flexibility in cargo loading on top of the panels as well as in their suitability for the covering of large hatches. As a leading manufacturer of hatch covers, TTS offers tailor-made hatch cover systems in both folding and multi-folding design.

TTS has developed a highly-automated hatch cover system to meet the cargo access needs of bulk carriers whose design requires the hatch opening to be up to 80 per cent of a ship’s width but without any stowing space in either direction.

Open top container feeder vessels require watertight hatch cover solutions for hold number one. TTS has developed a hydraulically operated single flap cover, which can be supplied to a length of more than 40 feet. The open girder design allows extremely high stack loads and maximum flexibility to accommodate all container lengths.

Lift-away hatch covers for general cargo ships MacGregor hatch covers enable your general cargo vessels to carry various deck cargoes and form functional cargo areas to facilitate flexible cargo handling operations. When in an open position they provide access to the hold for loading and discharging cargo and when closed they seal the hatchway in a weathertight manner. MacGregor offers both single-panel and multi-panel lift-away hatch covers. Multi-panel covers comprise several separate panels for each hatch opening. They are generally used for multi-purpose cargo ships carrying heavy cargo and usually have transverse joints. Tweendeck lift-away hatch covers are designed for the cargo hold and operated by ship or shore-based cranes. Their purpose is to carry various cargoes and divide cargo areas into compartments that support flexible cargo operations. They can be used for segregating cargoes and their efficient utilisation can increase a vessel’s cargo intake. Tweendeck lift-away hatch covers are supported by removable or foldable consoles and can be designed to be located at several height positions or also function as bulkheads. Lift away hatch covers for containers ships MacGregor lift-away hatch covers on a container ship enables your vessel to carry deck cargo, split the container stack between hold and deck and to prevent water ingress into the cargo hold. Depending on a container ship’s width, one to five panels cover each hold opening. The weight of an individual panel can be up to 45 tonnes. Lift-away panels are handled with a spreader using either shore-side container cranes or the vessel’s own cranes. The panels can be stacked together on the quay and/or on the ship’s deck. MacGregor hatch covers can be equipped with special fittings, as required: for example, with stanchion sockets for loading timber, container fittings, cement/grain feed hatches, and ventilation hatches or water spray arrangements for dangerous cargoes.

Pivoting hatch covers make the most efficient use of available deck space. They are primarily used when multiple panels are not required, or when the deck arrangement is configured to have a short, vertical stowage space. Large pivoting hatch covers are used in feeder container ships. Small pivoting hatch covers are particularly useful for covering small hold openings, such as grommet stores, which are used for storing wire slings and other cargo lifting gear used on general cargo vessels. Typically these are deep storage spaces with a small hold opening. Due to the vertical stowage position of pivoting hatch covers, the dimensions of other deck machinery, for example cranes, have to be carefully taken into account when designing a pivoting hatch cover arrangement. The size of the hatch opening and the space available for panel stowage are the main criteria for opting for pivoting hatch covers. The maximum length of a pivoting hatch cover is 45ft. The arrangement for a hold opening can be configured to meet the needs of a specific cargo hold as follows: a single pivoting hatch cover (1+0); two pivoting hatch covers facing each other (1+1); or one pivoting hatch cover used in conjunction with another type of hatch cover (1+n). As with folding hatch covers, pivoting hatch covers are operated by hydraulic cylinders.

SMS-SME has designed and produced side rolling hatch covers from 80,000 DWT to over 325,000 DWT grain, coal, ore and even combined oil carrier for customer’s satisfaction. Side rolling-type hatch cover is operated by rack gear installed in the transverse direction at the bottom center of each panel which is engaged with the Pinion gear located on the outside of the side deck. Rack & Pinion enable independent drive and allow opening/closing as required. It is optionally available either with auto-roll up system or without it by manual cleat operation for simple and cost saving requirement from the customers. Chain driven type is also available and both arms are connected with chain to operate the two panels on the right and left concurrently. The hatch cover can be operated in both directions using the low-speed hydraulic motor installed on the deck. The Auto-roll up device can be applied like Rack & Pinion driven Hatch Covers.
