Hatch Cover Overhaul Solutions

Demap Teknik Makina offers complete hatch cover overhaul solutions to ensure the watertight integrity, operational safety, and mechanical functionality of cargo hold covers. Hatch covers are critical components of dry cargo vessels, and their condition directly affects cargo protection and vessel stability. Our services include inspection, maintenance, repair, and renewal of hatch cover systems—covering hydraulic actuators, rubber gaskets, cleats, wedge pockets, bearings, and operating mechanisms.

Our scope includes the replacement of worn-out sealing gaskets, surface grinding of coaming and contact surfaces, greasing and renewal of hinge pins, alignment correction, and the repair or replacement of hydraulic cylinders and associated piping. All parts used are either OEM or class-certified alternatives. Our experienced technicians ensure all mechanical assemblies are aligned properly for smooth operation, minimal friction, and extended service life.

For vessels facing repeated water ingress or sealing failures, we offer hatch cover modification or upgrade services. These include the installation of improved gasket materials, custom-fabricated sealing arrangements, and reinforcement of weak structural points. We also offer fabrication and installation of hatch coaming channels, corner pieces, and panel plating that may have suffered corrosion or mechanical damage over time.

Demap Teknik Makina understands the operational pressures of the shipping industry. Our hatch cover overhaul services are optimized for fast turnaround without compromising quality. We provide project documentation, class compliance certificates, and test reports upon completion. We also offer post-service maintenance schedules and training for onboard personnel to carry out routine upkeep.

Ultimately, a watertight hatch cover is a cornerstone of cargo safety and ship survivability. By trusting Demap Teknik Makina with your hatch cover servicing needs, you are ensuring leak-free voyages, reduced insurance risks, and extended lifecycle of your hatch cover systems. We combine decades of field experience with advanced inspection tools and shipyard-level resources to deliver overhaul services that meet the highest industry standards.
