The first picture shows tank top plates in place and the bases for the propeller shaft bearings.
The second shows the watertight bulkheads in place, the smaller hold in the middle is the dead centre of the ship and has watertight hatch covers enabling this hold to be used as ballast tank sinking the ship centrally in the water or for carrying a liquid cargo.
The third is a close-up of the aft side of the aft engine room watertight bulkhead showing the sliding door giving access to the shaft tunnel escape.
Which is seen in the fourth photograph with the tunnel sides in place and another ballast tank bulkhead in place.
Moving on to the larst one picture showing the buildup of the ballast tanks either side of the escape tunnel that will form the base of number five hold.
