hatchway
A hatchway is an opening or doorway, often with a cover or door, in the deck of a ship or in the floor or roof of a building, which provides access to another area like a staircase, ladder, or storage space. It is frequently used by crew members or maintenance personnel. This hatch or cover serves as a barrier to prevent water, dirt, or unauthorized access to the area beneath.

Dictionary of Nautical Terms
hatchway
A square or oblong opening in the middle of the deck of a ship, of which there are generally three--the fore, main, and after--affording passages up and down from one deck to another, and again descending into the hold. The coverings over these openings are called hatches. Goods of bulk are let down into the hold by the hatchways. To lay anything in the hatchway, is to put it so that the hatches cannot be approached or opened. The hatches of a smaller kind are distinguished by the name of scuttles.
