In order to save space, the staircases on board are generally very steep, and the clearance height of the rooms is only two meters, with pipelines, cables, and insulation materials laid across the top.
Once the bed, cabinets, table, and chairs are arranged, the room is basically crammed full.
Bi Fang made his way between the seats and wooden table and sat on the edge of the bed, which was a standard single bed and yet a bit narrower.
The narrowness of the bed wasn't without reason; at sea, it's best for the bed to be just narrow enough to snugly encase one's body.
Experienced sailors would stuff pillows and blankets at the head of the bed early on, so that when a storm hits, they could grasp the sides of the bed with their hands and push against the wall at the foot of the bed with their feet, to avoid being thrown onto the floor.
Outside the room, the corridor on the ship barely met the international convention's minimum standard—0.7 meters.
