Berthing & Fender Design
Specialist berthing analysis and fender system design using BS6349-4, PIANC WG33, and PIANC WG211 guidelines to ensure vessel safety, structural protection, and operational efficiency.
We deliver precise berthing analyses to determine approach conditions, velocities, and impact energies for a wide range of vessel types.
Our designs follow BS6349-4 and PIANC WG33 & WG211 methodologies to select the most suitable fender types, sizes, and configurations.
We balance energy absorption requirements with reaction forces to protect both the berth structure and vessel hulls.
Designs consider tidal variations, berthing angles, under-keel clearances, and local metocean conditions.
We also provide maintenance and inspection recommendations to ensure long-term performance, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
