A bow visor is a feature of some ships, particularly ferries and RORO s, that allows the Bow to articulate up and down, giving access to a cargo ramp and storage deck near the water line. There have been several incidents where bow visors have partially opened while in motion, and as a result, some ships have had to return to a factory have their visor locking mechanisms strengthened. Bow visor failure has also directly caused some ships to sink, most notably the M/S ''Estonia'' . EXTERNAL LINKS |
