are designed to cope with the maximum uniformly distributed pressure and large line loads
as a result of belted vessel berthing applied over the full tidal range. Where Cylindrical or
Arch Fenders with no fender panels are used hull pressures may exceed values quoted.
Panel sides and the bottom edge shall be chamfered, whilst the top edge shall be profiled to
prevent belting being caught on top of the fender units.
The fender facing units shall be of closed box construction and without re-entrant shapes or
other areas that could entrap water or accelerate corrosion. Contractor’s attention shall be
drawn to the testing requirements of closed box construction. Particular care shall be
exercised by Contractor to ensure that the fender facing pad design has no sharp
projections or corners liable to snag or damage ship mooring lines.
Unless specified elsewhere on the drawings, all steel shall conform to BS EN 10025, S355
JO or equivalent.
Where specified on the Drawings low friction polyethylene facing pads shall be bolted to the

Design of the chains shall be the responsibility of Contractor. Chains shall be incorporated
in Contractor’s design insofar as they are necessary for the correct functioning of the fender
system. The number of chains shall be minimised, but Contractor shall consider the
following in his design:
Tension chains may be needed to the top of the panel to resist forces caused by the
vessels making contact along the lower part of the fender panel;
Vertical sag chains may be needed to stop the weight of the fender and front panel
causing the system to droop with time;
Shear chains may be needed at high and low level to restrain the fender panel and

the appropriate certificates shall be presented to JGCS.
Chains shall include a means for tensioning during installation and subsequent
maintenance. The tensioning device shall be locked off after the tensioning of the chain.
Chains shall be stored in dry, well-ventilated conditions until required on Site and shall not
be subject to attack from any extraneous chemicals. Where galvanising has been subject to
physical damage the chains shall be re-galvanised in accordance with Protective System A
unless an alternative repair method is agreed.
Chain samples shall be approved prior to Site delivery. Samples shall be accompanied by
such documentation as is requested.
All chains, shackles, tensioning devices, U-bolts and the like shall be protected using
