The utility model discloses a safety protection type ship hatch cover which comprises a mounting seat, a cabin cylinder fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting seat, a cover plate hinged to the top of the cabin cylinder, a sealing ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cover plate, and a connecting mechanism attached to the upper portion of the outer wall of the cabin cylinder. The connecting mechanism is arranged in the cabin cylinder; and the limiting mechanism is arranged outside the mounting seat. According to the safety protection type ship hatch cover, the transverse column, the empty box, the hand wheel, the double-end stud, the vertical plate, the sleeve, the sliding column, the inserting column and the auxiliary part are matched, the cover plate in the opening state is limited, and the problem that when an existing ship hatch cover is opened, due to the fact that the cover plate is not limited, the cover plate cannot be limited is solved. And if the whole ship shakes when a worker enters and exits a cabin, the cover plate may hit the body of the worker, so that the safety protection effect of the ship hatch cover is reduced.
