[0002] Ro-ro ships are special ships dedicated to transporting various types of vehicles. Due to the different types of vehicles transported in each voyage, movable decks with variable working heights are usually arranged in the cargo hold, so that the cargo hold between the two fixed decks can be flexibly divided into upper and lower space combinations with various different storey heights, facilitating the layered loading of vehicles with different heights and improving the utilization rate of the cargo hold space.

[0003] According to the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, escape stairways need to be arranged at the head and tail ends of the cargo hold for the normal inspection passage and emergency escape of the crew. A reasonable fire separation needs to be maintained between the stairway and the cargo hold, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0004] The movable deck may be designed with two or more working positions at different heights, resulting in an imperfect match between the deck height and the boarding platform height inside the nearby stairway, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 .

[0005] Figure 4 It is shown that if the boarding deck height inside the stairway is flush with the lower movable deck position, when the movable deck is at the higher position, the deck plane will be at half the height of the stairway fire door, resulting in the crew being unable to open the door and enter normally while standing on the deck.

[0006] Figure 5 It is shown that if the boarding deck height inside the stairway is flush with the higher movable deck position, when the movable deck is at the lower position, the deck plane will be at a certain height below the stairway door opening, and the crew needs to use an additional removable straight ladder to enter and exit the stairway each time, affecting the escape efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a movable deck stairway structure for a ro-ro ship, enabling personnel to freely and quickly enter and exit the stairway without the aid of tools even when the movable deck is docked at different heights and without affecting the fire separation of the stairway.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A ro-ro ship movable deck stairway structure, including a stairway compartment and a foyer. The foyer is located on the side of the stairway compartment close to the cargo hold.
