Lift Shafts are elevators used to carry personnel or goods between decks.[1]

Description (Specifications)

Lift Shaft: A shaft extends between decks, with pressure-tight doors preserving the integrity of each deck. A pressure tight lift car, sealed by an air-tight door, runs inside the shaft; the shaft is closed off by a simple sliding door when the lift is not present.[2]

Generally, a lift shaft will have only one lift car. On large ships (...in the 10,000-ton or greater range), there may be a system with several lift cars, branching shafts, and computer-controlled lift car control to show availability.[3]
