Ship Deck 1 Decks are an essential part of any ship, be it a small fishing boat or a cruise liner. The difference in various decks is the size and the number of decks present. Small ships or boats usually one. On the other hand, large cruise liners, cargo ships or naval ships may have three or more decks. A deck is defined as a permanent covering over a section of the hull of the ship. On a boat or a ship the first layer of the deck is a horizontal structure that provides support and strength to the ship. This forms the lid of the hull that doubles as a smooth working surface.

One of the main purposes of a deck is to provide structural support. Apart from that, it is also constructed to provide weather tightness and keep away water, dust and heat from seeping into the lower layers of the vessel.

The use of epoxy compounds has become common, because it is easy to apply and guarantees a perfect solution for resurfacing.

This process can continue for days or for weeks depending on the area to be resurfaced. Many luxury boat owners get their boats resurfaced in order to keep them looking clean and safe.
