Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0919459A1] The system for balancing a ship hull with sealed inner compartments separated by bulkheads has at least one of the bulkheads (2) made with an aperture closed by a plug (14) that is pushed out by the pressure of water once it reaches a given level, allowing the water to flow into the adjoining compartment to restore the ship's balance. . The bulkhead aperture is cut out and lined with a coaming (16) to receive the plug and its flexible seals (20, 21) e.g. of intumescent mastic. The plug is in the form of a rock wool panel (17) sandwiched between and stuck to two steel plates (18, 19), each with one of the seals round its edge
