The Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) has been equipped with QuayQuip T-head bollards as part of the Berth 6 expansion programme.

ICTSI’s flagship port in the Philippines has more than trebled in capacity since its acquisition in 1988. Over the last ten years it has taken on bulk and other non-containerised cargoes in addition to an annual container throughput of around 2 million TEU. The Berth 6 project adds 300m of quay and increases the port’s annual capacity by almost half a million TEU.

We are happy to announce the new QuayQuip ‘Bollards and Mooring Systems’ Catalogue. It is available for download now. Printed copies will be available in a few weeks – please request your copy now.

Every QuayQuip bollard installed is right for the job, from safety features, coatings and materials down to the choice of anchor. Load fuses can be included in the base plates of the latest generation Tricorn bollards. Custom baseplates are also available for berth upgrades and retrofits.

Floating ‘Mooring Traveller’ systems are available with integrated bollards up to 500kN capacity. QuayQuip’s new Shiphauling Systems, as used on various Flat Pack Ports, comprise remote-operated capstans or winched mules that guide vessels safely under shiploaders.

QuayQuip helped bring the 80 year old Van Cauwelaertlock up to the latest berthing and mooring standards with the installation of both fender systems and bollards.

Two large V-fender systems made from 18 QME-1250 element fenders protect the lock corners. A further seven 2.4 metre long PFS 300 extruded fenders were installed. All systems use 100% virgin grade UHMW-PE for longer service life.

In late 2009, the refit began of six chambers at three large locks along the Juliana Canal, near the villages of Born, Heel and Maasbracht in the Netherlands.

The oldest lock in Born was built in 1930. The lock chamber was emptied during restoration which included replacing 200 sets of original iron rails, repairs to the concrete walls, fitting 158 new safety ladders and other remedial work. The lock reopened for shipping in December 2009.

Each lock chamber was extended to 225 metres, allowing access for vessels up to 190m long, 11.4 beam and 3.5m draft.
