The access hatch on the front deck of this barge - does it have a special name?

 

(Red thing on starboard side of foredeck)

Thanks :cheers: I was looking for a word to use in image search so I can have a look at all the different designs for these things :)

My 1898 Cassels Encyclopedic dictionary would suggest the 'porch' on the f'csle would be a 'companian hatch', the ladder (presumably) leads through the 'companionway' into what I would call a 'lazaret', a separate store, as I think it unlikely to connect with the hold.

 

I love words!
