Furniture 4

Overview

Storage furniture, lockers, wardrobes, shelving, built for a vessel carries the same securing discipline as seating and berths: doors latch positively rather than swing free, and the unit itself is fixed to the structure rather than freestanding. Interior fit-out during a refit or newbuild specifies furniture room by room against the vessel's general arrangement drawing, which is what determines exact dimensions and fixing points rather than a standard catalogue size. Hinges and catches are marine-grade hardware rather than standard household fittings, chosen to resist corrosion from salt air and to hold a door shut against the vessel's own motion rather than swinging open on a roll.
