Note the suspension strip in the superstructure. It is located below the two longish hatches and ranges from the main deck to the upper deck. This strip is made of rubber and is a flexible part of the superstructure that absorbs the forces generated by the ship's movement in heavy seas. Without the strip the aluminium superstructures might suffer cracks.
