Free fendering guides
Safe mooring is essential to prevent damage to ships and harbour installations while also helping to minimise harm to personnel.
So, two new publications on fendering from Trelleborg Marine Systems demonstrate how to protect the millions spent on safe and efficient port facilities, which, says the company “owners and operators frequently risk through inadequate jetty mounted fenders and floating pneumatic moorings”.
The two fendering guides discuss the issues and illustrate best practice solutions.
Pneumatic Rubber Fenders encompasses the role of these systems in permanent moorings, ship-to-ship mooring and jetty duties, along with their specific benefits. It outlines the different fender types, and discusses essential construction features, including low hull pressure and energy absorption. Other critical aspects outlined in the guide include deployment systems, construction detail, end fittings and connections.
The other guide focuses on vessels. Guide to Fenders underlines why different types of fender system are required and the importance of the different performance characteristics.
Both guides, and extensive further information, are available for download on http://www.takesthepressureoff.com/fenders/
