Ten Reasons For Quality Fendering

Well-designed fender systems will reduce construction costs and will contribute to making the berth more efficient by improving turn-around times. It follows that the longer a fender system lasts and the less maintenance it needs, the better the investment.

It is rare for the very cheapest fenders to offer the lowest long term cost. Quite the opposite is true. A small initial saving will often demand much greater investment in repairs and upkeep over the years. A cheap fender system can cost many times that of a well-engineered, higher quality solution over the lifetime of the berth as the graphs below demonstrate.

Ten reasons for quality fendering:

  • Berths in more exposed locations
  • Better ship stability when moored
  • Lower structural loads
  • Accommodate more ship types and sizes
  • More satisfied customers
  • Safety of staff, ships and structures
  • Much lower lifecycle costs
  • Rapid, trouble-free installation
  • Quicker turnaround time, greater efficiency
  • Reduced maintenance and repair
