The present invention provides a sealing device for an opening. The device includes a body that has a first side and a second side. A passageway is formed through the body such that the passageway has a first end adjacent to the first side and a second end that is adjacent to the second side. A sealing member is provided that includes an outer gasket and an inner gasket. The outer gasket is positioned adjacent the first side and the inner gasket is positioned adjacent the second side. A seal connector connects the inner gasket and the outer gasket and the seal connector passes through the passageway. In this way, the inner gasket and the outer gasket are mechanically attached to the ring. The sealing device is configured for use in such applications as sealing the cargo opening on the deck of a kayak.

The wind-and-rain guard device for shipping is provided that can restrain wind and rain from seeping in from between the sliding hatch cover and the hatch coaming. The wind-and-rain guard device for shipping 30 includes a water-stop member 31 that closes a gap formed between a sliding hatch cover 11 and a hatch coaming 14 when the sliding hatch cover 11 is lifted from the hatch coaming 14.

A water control storage frame system for at least one storage compartment is formed in a boat having a deck. The system includes a frame structure rising above the deck of the boat and defining an upper peripheral opening of the at least one storage compartment. The frame structure is provided with an external structure facing away from the at least one storage compartment and configured for preventing water collecting on the deck from entering the at least one storage compartment and directing water from the deck into a drainage area. An internal structure is integrally formed with the external structure, and is configured as a peripheral track structure for receiving and retaining storage items at various locations along the peripheral track structure within the at least one storage compartment.

A cargo hatch for use on a bulk carrier or other ship to allow access to the cargo hold. Cargo hatches include one or more hatch covers resting on hatch coaming which surrounds a hatch opening through which the cargo hold is accessible. A seal is often provided between the hatch cover and the hatch coaming in order to prevent water ingress into the cargo hold from the outside environment. The seal may be prone to deterioration. The present disclosure proposes a cargo hatch for a bulk carrier including a hatch coaming surrounding a hatch opening and a hatch cover configured to be removably located on the hatch coaming such that the hatch cover reversibly closes the hatch opening, wherein the cargo hatch includes two sealing systems configured to provide respective and separate seals between the hatch coaming and the hatch cover in use.
