Maintenance, repair and renewal of the steel structure, mechanical and hydraulic systems of hatch covers.

Hatch covers are among the most critical items on a vessel, protecting the cargo from weather and sea. Tightness problems, worn rollers, damaged panels or hydraulic faults directly affect cargo operations.
