INNOVATION & NEW TECHNOLOGY FEATURE
transfer safety, allowing a much more stable and reliable platform to work from in extreme sea conditions, without having to make costly modifications to existing vessels.
RECYCLING All products within the Eco-Fender™ range are produced from recycled truck tyres, thereby reducing dependence on virgin rubber products, alleviating landfill and saving usage of oil.
DEVELOPMENT
Based on 60 years of experience with tugs, barges and workboats, the Eco- Fender™ range has been developed with the following criteria in mind...
• Significantly increased friction coefficient over existing materials and systems
• Economically competitive to existing systems
• Lighter than conventional extruded rubber bow fendering
• Increased durability over existing systems
• Quantifiable performance (energy absorption and reaction force)
The first products within the Eco-Fender™ range are currently being tested. The Vessel Motion Monitoring System™ is immediately available with both products already experiencing a high level of demand.
Tim Smith, Business Development Manager, Sustainable Energy Team commented “Given the current industry- wide debate about windfarm transfer safety improvement, these two systems hold the capability to transform the industry.”
