Which opening in the deck is used for ventilation and light and is opened to allow air in?

• A. HATCH
• B. DECK
• C. SCUTTLE
• D. BULKHEAD

Answer: (C)

Ventilation openings on a deck are small openings that can be opened to let air flow into spaces below, providing both ventilation and light. This type of opening is called a scuttle. A scuttle is typically a small deck opening with a hinged or removable cover, designed for quick ventilation and daylight into holds, cabins, or machinery spaces. It differs from a hatch, which is a larger opening mainly used for access between decks; a bulkhead is a wall, and a deck is just the surface. So when you want to vent and bring in light, you open the scuttle.
