QuayQuip-PEM upgrades Ferry Berth at Tsawwassen, BC

Fender system at BC Ferries Tsawwessen terminal

The first of many large projects for the QuayQuip/Marener partnership is a complete upgrade of Tsawwassen Berth 4 in just outside of Vancouver, British Columbia. Tsawwassen is part of the BC Ferries network, with services to Vancouver island and mainland destinations. The renewed facility will receive the latest and largest vessels in BC Ferries’ fleet.

QuayQuip are delighted to work with BC Ferries, with whom we share the philosophy of ‘safety first’.

A total of nine monopile dolphins are both fitted with high-performance, dual QCN Cone Parallel Movement Fender (PMF) systems which incorporate QuayQuip’s 4th generation technology in bearings and torsion arms. Each system is some 8 metres high and provides ultra low reaction which aids berthing times and passenger comfort.
