Sea chests are an important component of marine hardware and hull items in the supply class of Marine Hardware And Hull Items in the supply group Ship And Marine Equipment.

A sea chest is a large, watertight box or compartment that is installed in the hull of a ship or marine vessel. It is typically located below the waterline and serves as an intake or discharge point for seawater. Sea chests are designed to allow the vessel to take in seawater for various purposes, such as cooling systems, ballast tanks, firefighting systems, and other onboard equipment.

Sea chests are usually made of durable materials such as steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys to withstand the harsh marine environment. They are equipped with strainers or filters to prevent debris, marine organisms, and other unwanted materials from entering the ship's systems.

Maintenance and cleaning of sea chests are crucial to ensure the proper functioning of the ship's systems. Regular inspections and cleaning are necessary to prevent blockages and maintain the efficiency of the seawater intake or discharge.

In summary, sea chests are essential marine hardware and hull items that provide a secure and efficient means of taking in or discharging seawater for various onboard systems and equipment in ships and marine vessels.
