DESCRIPTION OF SHIP AND PARTS


GENERAL INFORMATION OF SHIPSShips or Vessel -–The name given to any craft which float and is able to navigate.

Stem - Refers to the curved plate which is the first part of the ship to cut through the water ahead of the shipStern or Poop Deck - The rear end of the ship and it’s designed so that the layers of the water surrounding the hull do not form eddies but act efficiently on the propeller and the rudder.Starboard Side –- The name given to the right-hand side of the ship.Port Side –- The name given to the left-hand of the ship.Keel - The Backbone and the lowest part of the ship. This runs from the stem to stern.Frames -– The steel ribs which run at he right angles (transversely) to the keel as far as the curve of the bilge of the hull and to which the plating on the both sides is connected.Hatches - are openings in the deck giving access to holds or space below.Anchor - is used to secure the ship in a stationary position to the sea bed.Bollards - are vertical posts used for securing hawser; mooring ropes etc. They can also be called “bitts”.Lifebuoy - is a specially designed float used for throwing overboard to keep a person afloat in the water until rescued.
