ventilator towers and heads
Explanation:
They are the conduits which collect fresh air from outside the vessel's hull - they can be all shapes and sizes depending on the vessel. As you appear to be dealing with a VLCC, these would be large towers or pipe-like structures. cf Inglés Técnico Naval Servicio de Publicaciones Univ. de Cádiz
