The bow is the forward most part and considered the front of the vessel. 6 Figure 1 Bow of hull number 134

The stern is the further most part of the vessel or the rear. 7 Figure 2 Stern view of ship in the slip

The main deck is considered between the superstructure and hull. 8 Figure 3 Main deck of cargo vessel

All decks above the main deck are labeled 1, 2, 3, etc. 9 Figure 4 Superstructure of vessel with multiple decks

Decks below the main deck are labeled 01, 02, 03, etc. 10 Figure 5 Engine room near the generator

The hull is the main body of the vessel. 11 Figure 6 Hull inside the slip being dismantled
