Trunk’ refers to the vertical space or passage created by the extension of bulkheads or casings for one or more decks. This space offers access or serves as a conduit for piping or cabling. For instance, in a large cargo ship, the trunk provides access to the lower decks for crew members, while piping for fuel or water may be run through the trunk.
