To fully utilize this valuable resource, wind farms are constructed on the seabed. The construction of these mega-structures, highly complex, is governed by stringent safety regulations.

SFT channeled the power of fender systems for enhanced maritime safety and worked in collaboration with a renowned construction equipment firm. Our engineering team designed and supplied a customized solution comprising of:

  • 4 V Fenders, also known as Arch Fenders (SX-P 600, G2.3)
  • 4 Komposite Fenders (KF-A 300x300x1450 mm)
  • 12 Komposite Fenders (KF-A 300x300x1500 mm)
  • 6 Extruded Fenders (SD 500x500x1000 mm) 

Harnessing their low friction and shock-absorbing properties, our client integrated the 26 fenders into a cutting-edge monopile gripper. These grippers play a vital role in the installation of monopiles for offshore wind farms, and this particular version is tailor-made to efficiently handle new-generation monopiles.

At the ShibataFenderTeam Group, we take immense pride in witnessing the expansion of our core mission – safeguarding people, berth facilities, and vessels – in the offshore realm. Moreover, we are thrilled to play this role in the creation of clean energy, signifying our deep commitment to protection and sustainability.
