Trelleborg launches fender selection tool

The tool also intends to help specifiers and suppliers take steps towards a more standardised engineering processes, reduce subjectivity in the design process and help to shape consistent industry best practice.

The tool requires the user to input basic information on vessel type, berthing factors and speed to receive a broad fender selection, which can be further refined as the user enters more details into the input panel.

Mishra Kumar, technical director for marine fenders at Trelleborg’s marine systems operation, said: “With so many factors to consider in the specification of fender systems, we wanted to make the process as simple as possible for consultants, enabling them to determine the optimum fenders for their project needs in just a few clicks.”
