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. Many ships have beltings or other protrusions which must be allowed for during fender design. Vessels may also berth at high speeds without tug assistance.

- Prefer small gaps between ship and quay to minimise outreach of cranes
- Large change of draft between laden and empty conditions
- May occupy berths for long periods
- Coastal cargo vessels may berth without tug assistance
