Advances in hatch covers and cargo handling as they facilitate deck design; efficient deck can be obtained by widening hatches to maximum to permit side tracks for possible use of trucks or traveling cranes; hatches can extend from bridge house front to forecastle, but in big ships where hatches can be over 30 ft wide, only 1 long hatch is generally needed over center of buoyancy with others about 35×35 ft; diagrams are given for Consulmar 15/15 prototype 15-knot cargo motor ship of 15,000 tons.
