The Most Annoying Part of a Ship Door Has a Job
That raised lip beneath a ship door is called a coaming. It is a low barrier designed to stop small amounts of water from running straight through an open doorway and into the next compartment.
Its height changes depending on the risk in that part of the ship. In areas where flooding would be serious, the coaming is taller, uncomfortable for your shins, but useful for containing water.
