Words with some variations are more commonly used in the shipping industry than words we use in everyday life.These words can also be referred to as words used in the naval field since time immemorial.Many of these words may not seem familiar to us, but they are very close to a sailor.If you are also interested in the field of shipping, you must know these words. ship crew members often develop the habit of
calling objects and the activities around them by
their proper names.
In times of emergency, your understanding and
correct response to such terms could save
valuable time.
The floors of a ship are called decks,
the walls are called bulkheads, and
the stairs are called ladders (Gangways). no halls or corridors in a ship, only passageways. no ceilings in a room, only the overhead in the
compartment.
Openings in the outside of the ship are ports, not
windows. Entrances from one compartment to another are
called doors. Openings from one deck to another are called hatches. The handles on the watertight hatch or door are
called dogs.
The above I mentioned is more about the words we use in the field of navigation than the words we usually speak.We are now going to talk about some of the names of certain parts of a ship that are being sailed.Each of these parts is shown in the diagram above.please follow the diagram after read this.
Abaft - Any part of the ship aft
of amidships.
After end (aft) - The after end
(aft) of a ship is the stern.
Amidships - Amidships is a point about
halfway between the bow and stern and the
sides of the ship.
Athwartships - When something is said to
be Athwartships it’s across the ship from side
to side.
Forward end (fore) - The forward end
(fore) of the ship is the bow.
Inboard - Inboard usually describes
the area inside the ship or an object
nearer the centerline of the ship.
Outboard - Outboard describes the
area furthermost from the ship’s
centerline or beyond the side of a
ship.
Starboard - When facing forward of
the ship, your right-hand side is the
