Ports & Terminals Infrastructure

Whether you are specifying marine infrastructure equipment for a single berth, or an entire port, Trelleborg has the design, manufacturing and installation expertise to ensure operational performance is maximised and long term maintenance is minimised – helping to keep whole life costs low.

As vessel sizes increase, the stresses on port equipment and operations increase, which is why Trelleborg is committed to applying true engineering know how to each and every project’s very specific requirements. Our attention to detail through control of the entire supply chain ensures that, no matter what the berthing conditions, performance is optimised without compromising the safety of the vessel or the integrity of the port infrastructure. So, if it’s modular, multi-purpose, pneumatic, rolling, foam or parallel motion fenders you need, or even hooks, capstans, integrated monitoring systems or bollards, Trelleborg’s got it covered.

Container

Container terminal efficiency depends on vessel turnaround times. The right choice of fenders and moorings helps to optimize procedures and increase container handling rates.

---

Cruise Ships

Cruise ships have increased in size over recent years. Their high freeboard and shallow draft makes them difficult to manoeuvre in strong winds.

---

LNG & Oil Terminals

Safety is critical in gas and oil terminals. Every stage of vessel approach, docking, mooring, cargo transfer and departure demands close control and monitoring to prevent an accident.

---

Corner Protection

Dock corners are amongst the most difficult areas to protect. Fender design depends on vessel size, method of approach, corner shape and other factors.

---

RoRo & Ferries

Passenger safety is the first priority on RoRo and ferry berths. Running to fixed schedules, vessels operate in all weather conditions and place large demands on fenders and moorings.

---

General Cargo

General cargo and multi-user berths need versatile and robust fenders to cope with a wide variety of ship types, shapes and sizes.

---

Monopiles & Dolphins

Monopiles and dolphins are load sensitive structures commonly used on oil, gas and bulk terminals as well as many RoRo berths.

---

Bulk Cargo

Bulk carrier facilities often cater for a wide range of vessel sizes and drafts.

---

Naval Facilities

Navy ships come in almost every conceivable shape and size. Large bow flares, soft hulls and protrusions all need to be considered during fender design.
