Although our last report about Barrow Island, West Australia, was some time ago, work at the LNG facility has continued apace.

The Kenyan Navy’s latest vessel, the KNS Jasiri, has docked in her new home port of Mombasa at a berth equipped with QuayQuip fender facings.
At QuayQuip’s advice the jetty’s existing timber facings were replaced by piles installed in front of the quay structure, protected by machined UHMW-PE facings. QuayQuip supplied 41 sets of panels with 6000×300mm contact areas, each 100mm thick.
