Bulkheads
Bulkheads are vertical partitions or walls arranged either longitudinally or transversely. The arrangement of bulkheads in longitudinal and transverse directions divides the hull into separate compartments, holds, tanks, or spaces.
The bulkheads may be watertight or oil-tight or may have openings. The main watertight bulkheads are crucial for creating watertight compartments or spaces helpful in maintaining water tightness while dealing with the stability issues of the vessel during flooding. Classification rules decide the number and disposition of the bulkheads based on the size and type of vessel.
The bulkheads also act as strength members for absorbing loads and preventing structural effects, especially transverse ones. The bulkheads are fabricated based on requirements and are often strengthened by vertical and horizontal support members.
