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.

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. QuayQuip also provided QME Element based conventional fenders for the turning dolphins (roundheads) and the wingwalls (end fenders).
