hatch

French translation: écoutille/panneau

19:46 Feb 7, 2021
English to French translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime / yacht
English term or phrase: hatch
De manière générale, j'ai du mal à distinguer entre écoutille, trappe et panneau.

Les exemples en contexte:

-In rough weather, opening panels, hatches, windows, lockers and doorways should
be kept closed to minimise the risk of flooding.

-Through the escape hatch located over the forward cabin, onto the foredeck

-Areas with smooth surfaces (such as the coach roof and deck hatches)

-Access to the engine room is through the hatch in the cockpit floor.
