Abstract
The bow door (9) of a ferry consists of two sections (7) of the sides (5) on either side of the stem beneath the foredeck (4) and a section (10) of the foredeck lying thereabove. These side and foredeck sections (including the relevant section of the stem) are joined together to form an integral insert in the ship's hull (9). This insert can be pivoted from the closed position into an open position substantially above the foredeck (4) to provide a bow opening through said foredeck.
