Apart from transverse bulkheads tankers are also fitted with two longitudinal
bulkheads that divide the vessel into starboard- and port wing tanks and a
centre tank.
The engine room is a watertight machinery space that contains the vessel's
propulsion plant.
The steering engine room must also be a watertight compartment and is
very often situated over the after peaktank. Due to large stresses that occur under
the engine room and peaktanks, additional strengthenings are often inserted.
The double bottom provides strength and storage space for fuel, lubricating
oil, fresh water, salt (ballast) water and potable water.
To prevent liquids from leaking from one double bottom tank into the other,
longitudinal and transverse separations are used between the tanks. These
separations, which are in fact empty spaces, are called cofferdams.

The imaginary line from stem to stern is called the fore-and-aft line. It
divides the vessel into a starboard- and portside (when facing forward).
"Abeam" is used to indicate direction at a right angle to the fore-and-aft line.
The terms used to indicate directions in which the vessel can proceed are:
ahead and astern, starboard and port.
The upper deck, or main deck, is divided into the foremost deck,
called "forecastle", the centre deck, called "midships", and the aft deck,
