What is another name for the "collision" bulkhead?
• Collision bulkhead location in a ship’s layout • Relationship between collision bulkhead and the forepeak/after peak spaces • Purpose of a collision bulkhead in case of bow damage
• Think about where most collision damage occurs on a ship and which compartment the special watertight bulkhead is meant to protect. • Consider the difference between bulkheads located near the bow versus those located near the stern. • Ask yourself which named bulkhead would be the first major watertight division from the bow inward.
• Verify whether the collision bulkhead is toward the forward or after end of the vessel. • Check which option refers to a bulkhead associated with the peak tank at the bow rather than near the engine room. • Eliminate any answers that clearly describe bulkheads close to the engine room instead of at the extremity of the ship.
