A compartment usually positioned forward of the collision bulkhead which is used to accommodate the volume of chain cable attached to each of the ship’s anchors. Locker maintenance is usually carried out when the vessel is dry docked because the cables are normally ranged on the dock flor, freeing up the space to allow inspection, cleaning and painting to take place.
