Boat Landing Systems

Boat Landing Systems by Trelleborg provide a cost effective and reliable protection for offshore platforms. Building on our experience in manufacturing specialized rubber products for the marine industry, the Boat Landing Systems can withstand the most hostile climates and operate in even the most severe weather.

It is durable, easy to install and requires no maintenance. Every unit is load tested prior to delivery and the customer can choose from a complete range of sizes to suit their needs. Our Shock Cells and Eccentric Bumper Rings are proven in absorbing and safely deflecting almost all axial and lateral loads so that you can have peace of mind that your platform will always be protected.

How it works

The Boat Landing System consists primarily of the Shock Cells, Eccentric Bumper Rings (EBR) and a steel contact surface. On impact by a berthing vessel, the steel surface transfers the load to the EBRs and the Shock Cells. Kinetic energy is absorbed and dissipated as heat and a smaller reaction force against the vessel by the rubber as it undergoes shear and tension. The load is therefore reduced and the vessel can berth without damaging the platform structure. The strong bonding achieved between the rubber and the steel during the manufacturing process ensures that this arrangement will safely dissipate and reduce the external load without damaging the platform.

We essentially utilize rubber's unique ability in deflecting normal and lateral impact to withstand the design stresses that is imposed on a platform during barge and vessel operations. Rubber, with its internal damping effect, can resist high overloads without damage.

Shock Cells

A Shock Cell consists of 2 steel tubes and a rubber layer connecting both tubes. The energy of a contacting vessel is absorbed by axial deflection and rotation of the Shock Cell.

Rubstrips

Trelleborg also manufactures Rubstrips of many different profiles. Our profiles can be solid or hollow and come with many fitting options to the jacket leg/structure.

Our Rubstrips are made of high quality rubber that provide the necessary protection to offshore structures while ensuring that the vessel is not damaged. It consists of a simple but robust design that is free from maintenance and has excellent weather resistance.
