Ship-to-ship (STS)

Floating fenders such as pneumatic or foam elastomers are typically used for bunkering between two vessels. Since its creation today, more than 500 fenders have been supplied worldwide for ship-to-ship and ship-to-dock operations, serving our valuable customers.

These fenders play a critical role in safely operating ship berthing and mooring.

A fender is a bumper that absorbs kinetic energy or vessel berthing against a jetty, quay wall, or other vessels.

Fenders prevent damage to boats, vessels, and berthing structures.

Fenders usually have high energy absorption and low reaction force to do this. Fenders are typically manufactured out of rubber and foam elastomer. The type of fender most suitable for an application depends on many variables, including dimensions and displacement of the vessel, maximum allowable stand-off, berthing structure, tidal variations, and other berth-specific conditions. The fender unit’s size is based on the berthing energy of the vessel, which is related to the square of the berthing velocity.
