SPC Cone Fenders Applications
Container & Bulk Terminals

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

a number of outstanding performance characteristics. Ferry & RoRo Terminals

Characteristics
Exceptional good energy absorption to reaction force ratio (E/R)
Outstanding energy absorption per fender weight
High shear stability
No loss of performance up to 10° approach angle
Anchor recesses for easier installation
Optional overload stopper

Applications

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

FE Element Fenders Applications

Container & Bulk Terminals

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

legs, FE Fenders provide high layout flexibilities when installed Navy

behind steel panels or where mounting space is limited. Barge

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
Parallel Motion Applications

Fenders
Bulk Terminals
Oil & Gas Terminals
Ferry & RoRo Terminals
Parallel Motion Fenders are individually engineered systems Monopiles
and could be designed with different rubber units, but typically Load sensitive structures
with SPC Cone Fenders, CSS Cell Fenders or FE Element Fenders.
A turning lever arm (torsion arm) is mounted between the back
structure (concrete or steel) and the frontal steel panel. The
arm restrains the panel movement during the entire fender
compression, allowing it to move only parallel to its mounting,
irrespective of impact level and angle.

Characteristics
Equal energy absorption capacity at any impact level
No second contact point between ship and the fender system

Applications
V Fenders
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
