The stripped area on the deck is a ramp to go over the raised door seal. That opening is a sliding watertight door that closes to prevent flooding of the compartments in an emergency. The door is controlled from the bridge in case of flooding. It can also be controlled from either side of the door (note the handles at the top left of the opening). There is also a yellow flashing light at the top left to warn the crew when the door is activated. I worked in a shipyard for 12 years. We tested them on lots of ships during repair periods.
