The present disclosure relates to a cargo hatch for use on a bulk carrier or other ship to allow access to the cargo hold. Cargo hatches comprise one or more hatch covers resting on hatch coaming which surrounds a hatch opening through which the cargo hold is accessible. A seal is often provided between the hatch cover and the hatch coaming in order to prevent water ingress into the cargo hold from the outside environment. The seal may be prone to deterioration. The present disclosure proposes a cargo hatch for a bulk carrier comprising a hatch coaming surrounding a hatch opening and a hatch cover configured to be removably located on the hatch coaming such that the hatch cover reversibly closes the hatch opening, wherein the cargo hatch comprises two sealing systems configured to provide respective and separate seals between the hatch coaming and the hatch cover in use.
