The SPC Cone Fender is an efficient fender type that is used in vari- Oil & Gas Terminals
ous applications. It has a conical body and fully rubber-embedded General Cargo Terminals
mounting flanges. Its refined geometry and conical shape result in Cruise Terminals
Applications
CSS Cell Fenders
Container & Bulk Terminals The CSS Cell Fender is a well established fender type, with a hollow
Oil & Gas Terminals cylindrical body and fully rubber-embedded mounting flanges.
General Cargo Terminals It is designed to deflect in an axial direction up to 52,5 % (design
Cruise Terminals deflection).
Ferry & RoRo Terminals
Navy
Characteristics
Easy assembly & installation
Good shear force resistance
Cost-effective: large footprint leads to a good load distribution
on the substructure which results in a lighter panel construction
Very robust
40 years proven track record
The FE Element Fenders are fully moulded rubber legs with General Cargo Terminals
embedded mounting plates. Based on V Fenders but with separate RoRo Terminals
Characteristics
Good energy absorption to reaction force ratio (E/R)
High energy absorption per fender weight
Modular and compact design with small footprint
Vertically and horizontally mounted elements may be
combined in one system
Single units also used in combination with fender pile designs
Easy maintenance & replacement
PM Fenders Applications
Bulk Terminals
Parallel Motion Fenders are individually engineered systems Oil & Gas Terminals
and could be designed with different rubber units, but typically Ferry & RoRo Terminals
with SPC Cone Fenders, CSS Cell Fenders or FE Element Fenders. Monopiles
A turning lever arm (torsion arm) is mounted between the back Load sensitive structures
Characteristics
Equal energy absorption capacity at any impact level
No second contact point between ship and the fender system
V Fenders
Applications
SX & SH Fenders The V Fender is a rigid and simple moulded one piece fender type.
General Cargo Terminals V Fenders are available in different cross sections, SX and SH. The
Multi-Purpose-Terminals main difference is the width of the fender head and resulting
RoRo Ramps surface load. Each type can be equipped with an additional em-
Passenger Vessel Terminals bedded steel plate in the fender head (SX-P and SH-P). This allows
The Cylindrical Fender was the first fender type to be produced Bulk Terminals
with a defined performance. Installation is simple by using chains, General Cargo Terminals
bars, ropes or specially designed ladder brackets, depending on the RoRo Terminals
fender size and substructure. The Cylindrical Fenders‘ proportional Tug Boats
increase of reaction force and energy absorption all the way to Barge
Characteristics
Very robust and simple
Easy to install
High abrasion resistance
Proportional load deflection curve
Foam Products Applications
Navy vessel berths, cruise terminals and ship-to-ship
High performance fender systems for various applications with the operations (Ocean Guard & Ocean Cushion)
focus on projects with high variations in water levels and for cruise Locks and dry dock entrances (Donut Fenders)
terminals. Other foam products are used as navigational aids and Naval & commercial vessels with limited storage space
Applications
Pneumatic Fenders
In ports with extreme tidal variations High performance fender systems for various applications with the
Ship-to-ship lightering operations focus on projects with high variations in water levels and ship-to-
Oil & Gas (typically FSRU) ship operations. We supply:
