@amazeifystore: A hatch can be closed and still fail catastrophically. 🌊 The loss of MV Derbyshire in Typhoon Orchid showed how heavy seas could damage forward hatch covers, allowing storm water into the hold and overwhelming the bow structure. The engineering lesson is simple: a hatch cover is not just a seal, it is part of the load path. Would you strengthen the seal, the clamps, or both?
