I have a 18" hatch in both of my ballast tanks. A diver can close the bottom
hole with a allready made "plug a play" plug - than unscrew the top hatch to
climb in, on the allready installed ladder. Acess to the bowthruster,
anchorwinch and the internal surface for a paint job. Even still space for a
bed or two if I get later to old for diving operations and like two more
guest rooms.. :-)

welded on tanks is access. New-builds should look at making the MBT interior
easily accessible for overhauls so that detailed inspections can be made and
coating repairs done. Small access ports equal quick daubs of paint
sometimes, and that leads to trouble.
