Ship fenders FAQs

Below are some of the most commonly asked questions we receive regarding our ship fender range. Please get in touch with our expert team if you have a question that isn’t covered here. 

How do ship fenders work?

Our fendering systems provide customers with specialised inflatable buffers that protect vessels and prevent collisions in the dock or port by absorbing shock and impact during docking or boat-to-boat contact. The ship fenders can be attached either to the vessel itself or to mooring stations and platforms to prevent bumps, scratches, dents and damage to either party, which can be costly and significantly compromise safety. 

 

The correct type, size and specification of the fender are crucial to ensure optimal operation – should you need expert guidance, our experienced team is on hand to support you. 

What are the benefits of using ship fenders?

Ship fenders provide a wide range of benefits, including:

Protection: They prevent bumps, scratches, dents, and vessel damage, saving you repair costs.

Safety: By absorbing impact, they reduce the risk of accidents and injuries during docking.

Cost-effectiveness: Investing in ship fenders can save money by preventing damage to vessels and infrastructure.

Versatility: Our fenders can be attached to the vessel itself or mooring stations and platforms, providing flexibility in their application.

How do I choose the right type, size, and specification of ship fenders?

Selecting the correct ship fenders is crucial to ensure optimal operation and protection. Factors to consider include the size and type of vessels, the docking environment, expected impact forces, and any specific requirements. Our experienced team is available to provide expert guidance and help you choose the most suitable fenders for your needs.
