Abstract: A supporting pad for a hatch cover of a ship is provided. The supporting pad comprises a first receptacle firmly connected to the ship. A first slide block is displaceably arranged in the first receptacle. A second receptacle is firmly connected to the hatch cover and a second slide block is displaceably arranged therein. A variable accommodation space is provided at least between the first receptacle and the first slide block. The supporting pad further has an inlet opening oriented toward the variable accommodation space and a pump and a conduit for feeding a volume-stable curable composite material into the variable accommodation space for displacing and adjusting the slide block in the receptacle. By this measure, the bearing surfaces associated with one another are adjusted relative to one another individually.
