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.. read more →
Units of Ship’s Weight Displacement Tonnage It is the weight in tons (2,240 lbs/ton) of the water displaced by the immersed part of the ship and is equal to the weight of the ship and everything on board (men, fuel oil, supplies, etc.) The density of sea water averages 64 lbs/cu. ft. or 35.. read more →
Guidelines for Dock Fender Selection There are many service factors which must be taken into consideration when making a decision on which type and size of fender is best suited for a given application: type of pier structure, type and size of vessel, berthing velocity of vessel, method of berthing, sea currents, wave action. Some.. read more →
Technical Discussions of a Dock Fender System Since the purpose of a Dock Fender system is to absorb the energy of a berthing ship, it is necessary to examine the factors that make up the total energy package. These factors are: Weight of the vessel in displacement tons. Berthing velocity normal to the dock. Angle.. read more →
The reasons for preventative maintenance of marine fender systems: Safety and reduced risks Early identification of damage Reduced operational costs Less berth disruption Warranty remains valid Fewer claims and less aggravation Extended service life The goal of any maintenance programme is to avoid or reduce the consequences of failure of equipment whilst maintaining safety at.. read more →
The Use of Marine Fenders as Energy Absorbing Damper Units in Mooring Systems Introduction Engineers and scientists in many countries have pointed out that the mooring conditions o f a ship as well as berthing is affected by fender characteristics. In this paper, first discuss factors affecting fender characteristics, then, the concept of new simulation.. read more →
