If water gets onto a ferry's car deck, even a shallow layer can capsize the ship. The car deck runs almost the whole length of the ship, with no walls to stop the water. And the danger isn't how deep the water is — it's how wide it can run. Every roll sends it all to the low side, and the ship leans further. Sailors call it the free surface effect. On 6 March 1987, the ro-ro ferry Herald of Free Enterprise left Zeebrugge with her bow doors open. Water flooded the car deck, and she capsized in about ninety seconds. Since then, the bridge must have indicator lights for the shell doors, and they must show closed before the ferry sails.

At Orust Sailboat Show with Open Yard / Öppet Varv in Ellös Sweden 26-28 August 2022 there is world premiere for the first Hallberg-Rassy, a 340, with PU teak. This is something new that doesn’t look or feel as anything new, but as a Hallberg-Rassy has always looked like. Hallberg-Rassy now offer EcoDeck, which is a strong, flexible, solvent free, UV-proof polyurethane resin based decking and caprail system. This viscous-elastic composite material has a stylish and warm effect with a seamless and durable finish. PU teak is made of polyurethane, which is more durable and non-skid than a PVC deck. PU teak has been used for years on superyachts. Traditional teak deck and teak caprail are still available as an option. https://www.hallberg-rassy.com/news/news/ecodeck-new-and-at-the-same-time-as-it-always-has-been
