QuayQuip was the obvious choice to supply fender systems to a new freight RoRo facility at AMC for Chevron. The challenging site called for an expert team who could combine PIANC Type Approved systems with anti-corrosion and wildlife protection measures.

The recently completed facility is the freight supply and fumigation point for a regional LNG development. RoRo cargo vessels of 25,000t displacement will call at a berth equipped with eighteen QCN1200 systems on the side face, and seven QCN800 systems on the stern ramp.

bv-certified-stamp

Bureau Veritas has awarded ‘Type Approved’ status to all QuayQuip BV’s primary fender types, to both the PIANC 2002 and ASTM F-2192-05 guidelines.

This double approval is the first of its kind for a fender manufacturer and includes the following QuayQuip products: QCN Cone Fenders, QCL Cell Fenders, QME Elements, QSA and QPA Arch Fenders, and QCY Cylindrical Fenders. Another first was the approval of twin cone fenders mounted back-to-back: an arrangement used in PMF Parallel Movement Fender systems.

QuayQuip is also the first fender maker to publish information for berth designers in the ‘clear and transparent’ format recommended by PIANC.
