Gooseneck Vents - Deck Machinery and Hull Equipment
A gooseneck vent is a curved weather-resistant ventilation or tank air-pipe fitting installed on exposed ship decks. Its downward-facing outlet limits rain and sea-water ingress while allowing airflow or pressure equalization.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Gooseneck Vents for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Design and installation may be governed by the IMO International Convention on Load Lines, SOLAS, applicable flag-state rules, vessel specifications, and recognized marine piping or material standards. Requirements depend on whether the fitting serves as a ventilator, air pipe, or tank vent. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Installation is commonly reviewed by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, ClassNK, RINA, or other vessel class societies. Approval is generally project-specific and covers material, dimensions, coaming height, closing arrangements, location, and watertight or weathertight integrity. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install with the outlet facing downward and away from boarding seas, exhausts, and ignition sources. Maintain the required deck coaming height, provide adequate structural support, use compatible flange gaskets, and ensure the vent has sufficient free area without low points that trap water. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect periodically for corrosion, blockage, damaged screens, loose fasteners, coating failure, and cracked welds. Clean salt deposits and debris, renew gaskets and protective coatings as needed, and verify that closures or flame screens remain unobstructed. |
| Safety Notes | Do not reduce the required vent area or obstruct tank breathing. Confirm the connected space and cargo hazard before opening or servicing. Tank vents for flammable liquids may require approved flame-arresting or pressure-vacuum equipment rather than a basic gooseneck. |
