not all ship's have reinfored decks but some do, the ship my stepdad worked on the deck pipeing wieght in excess of 20 tonnes even more when the oil flowed threw them and the pipes were moving around putting great pressure and strain on the decks.
yes many general cargo ships do have reinforced decks Dart 8 had a reinforced deck (ship i worked on) but some dont the oil tanker prestige didnt and she sank after that double hulls in oil tankers were mandatory.
