Marine Rubber Fenders Design
Marine rubber fenders provide the necessary interface between berthing ships and berth structures. Therefore the principal function of fenders is to transform ships’ berthing energies into reactions which both the ships and berth structures can safely sustain. A properly designed fender system must therefore be able to gently stop a moving or berthing ships without damaging the ship, the berth structure or the fender.
Floating Fenders in STS Transfer
Floating pneumatic fenders or foam fenders are an essential marine equipment in STS transfer operations offshore. They are divided into two categories: Primary fenders and Secondary fenders.
