Deck Scupper
Deck Scupper is a drainage fitting installed on ship decks to collect and discharge rainwater, seawater, and other liquids from deck surfaces.
Designed for marine and offshore applications, Deck Scupper provides an effective drainage solution by connecting deck drainage areas with discharge pipelines or overboard outlets.
Deck Scupper is commonly installed on:
Main decks
Weather decks
Cargo decks
Hatch cover areas
Superstructures
Offshore platforms
The scupper allows accumulated water to be removed quickly, helping prevent:
Deck flooding
Water accumulation
Corrosion caused by standing water
Unsafe working conditions
Overview
Working Principle of Deck Scupper
Deck Scupper works as a drainage outlet that transfers water collected on the deck surface into the ship drainage system or directly overboard.
Operating Process:
Rainwater or seawater accumulates on the deck.
Water flows toward the scupper opening.
The scupper body guides water into the outlet passage.
Water enters the connected drainage pipe.
The drainage system removes water from the vessel.
