Source summary
Existing grid shores reinforce a hatch only after it is closed and do not help when its cover is damaged. The source requests a lightweight, robust, fabric inflatable hatch sealer that crew can use to restrict incoming water. It must remain usable in marine salinity, humidity and vibration rather than deteriorating in storage or service.
