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.
Non-marking fenders are also important in many cases. Portable (on-board) fenders may be needed when navy ships visit remote or poorly equipped ports.
- Vessels come in all shapes and sizes
- Snagging risks from hull protrusions
- Low hull contact pressures required
- Ships often visit many harbours without dedicated facilities
