Essential for Navigation: The Importance of Suez Canal Light Hatch covers
Overview
Suez Canal Regulation:
The Suez Canal is a vital waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea and is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. In order to ensure the safe passage of ships through the Suez Canal, the Egyptian government has implemented a series of regulations. According to these regulations, all ships passing through the Suez Canal must be equipped with Suez Canal lights on the bow and stern of the ship. As a result of this regulation, the Suez Canal light hatch cover came into being and became a necessary item for passing through the Suez Canal.
The function of the Suez Canal light hatch cover:
The Suez Canal Light hatch cover is a device that covers the Suez Canal light on the bow and stern of a ship, and its main functions include:
Lamp protection: The Suez Canal lamp hatchcover can effectively protect the bow and stern of the Suez Canal lamp from the impact of bad weather such as sea water, wind and rain, and extend the service life of the lamp.
Protection against damage: During navigation, the bow and stern of the ship are vulnerable to waves and other external factors, and the Suez Canal light hatch cover can reduce the risk of damage to the lamps by these factors.
Maintain cleanliness: The Suez Canal lamp hatch cover also prevents the accumulation of dirt and algae on the surface of the lamp, keeping the lamp clean and the light bright.
