Hatch cover load transmission

Bulk carriers are operated in harsh corrosive environment. It is natural that worn-out load transfer bearing pads and incorrect bearing pads influence vessel cargo handling performance.

Bearing pads plays major role in transferring loads from hatch covers to coaming structure in Fx, Fy and Fz directions. Damaged bearing pads resulting uneven load transfer and put excessive compression on rubber seals which affects weather tightness of cargo hold.

PMT design and delivers various load transmission pads to improve vessel performance and reduce maintenance.
