Digital and modular technologies are changing the traditional installation method of hatch covers, greatly improving shipbuilding efficiency.
Digital simulation installation: Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding applied for a patent for "Hatch Cover Positioning Installation Method" in early 2026. This method uses lightweight simulation blocks identical to the hatch cover for pre installation and positioning. By monitoring and correcting welding deformations, it ensures that the hatch cover can be accurately installed in place at once, eliminating the tedious steps of secondary lifting.
Pre installation of attachments: In April 2026, Hudong Zhonghua launched a special project on "Digital Installation of Hatch Cover Accessories". The project plans to complete the installation of all accessories before lifting the hatch cover onto the ship through digital modeling, achieving a "one-time lifting" to avoid repeated lifting and shorten the construction period.
