This year is already a busy one for QuayQuip in Indonesia. In addition to our project at Holcim Jetty, we have supplied QCN Cone Fender systems to Shell Indonesia’s new Pulau Laut oil facility in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Working with consultants Mott MacDonald and contractors PT EPTCO Dian Persada, QuayQuip designed four dolphin-based cone fender systems for the new berth.

QuayQuip has won another order for North Harbour in Manila, Philippines. The port has requested 28 sets of QCN 700 Cone Fender systems and 39 T-Head Bollards rated to 1000kN (100 tonnes). The order was placed in February, and the fender systems and bollards are now in service.
This order for North Harbour follows another announced late in 2012, for 90 sets of cone fender systems and T-Head bollards, as well as T-Head bollards for the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT).

Last year QuayQuip launched a campaign to lead the Scottish fendering market. New orders show that the strategy is well on its way to success.
Following a string of orders for Scottish ports in 2011 and 2012, QuayQuip has recently won six more, on every Scottish coastline from the very south of the country to its northernmost islands. All are due for delivery in 2013 and the total value is roughly €2 million. Read more…

Late in 2012, the Port of Tauranga in New Zealand took delivery of QuayQuip fender and mooring systems for the second Sulphur Point Wharf extension.
Sheltered by Matakana Island and Mount Maunganui, the Port of Tauranga is the only all-weather natural harbour between Auckland and Wellington. It handles more tonnage than any other port in New Zealand and is part of a developing regional port network. The Sulphur Wharf extension will allow the container port to receive Post-Panamax vessels up to 105,000 DWT.
QuayQuip designed three kinds of fender system for the project. Thirty sets of twin QCN 700 Cone Fender systems had to be closely aligned to the jetty’s existing cantilever piling. The panels were 1.1m wide by 4.1m high.

When QuayQuip’s design engineers were asked to create Cone Fender systems for Berth 7 at Geraldton, West Australia, they were faced with an interesting challenge.
Berth 7 would be fitted with Cavotec mooring systems. The gap between units along the quay front was too cramped for conventional chain and anchor designs. The concrete shell design of the quay also meant that the ‘cone’ of shear forces must be begin far back into the finished structure: something that even the best conventional anchor systems could not achieve. A novel design was called for.

QuayQuip has supplied 90 sets of QCN Cone Fenders and 39 cast steel, 100 tonne capacity T-Head Bollards to Manila North Harbor.
Manila North Harbor is the largest domestic cargo and passenger port in the Philippines. Its owners have invested PHP570 million (GB£8.6m or US$13.8m) to bring the entire facility up to date. The first phase of the project nearly trebled the port’s container capacity to 2.8 million TEU. The port’s passenger terminal is also seeing a major upgrade.

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.

QuayQuip will supply the Port of Pointe Noire, Republic of Congo, with a comprehensive upgrade to its fendering and mooring equipment.
Working with contractors SAIPEM (part of the ENI group) QuayQuip will deliver 54 sets of QCN 1400 Cone Fender systems with 3.45m panels. Related orders include Tricorn Bollards rated to 150t, chosen for their superior line angle characteristics, and a full set of access ladders.
Pointe Noire has been a busy port since its opening seventy years ago. The first deepwater port south of Dakkar, it lies 150km North of the mouth of the River Congo, and connects to a transnational rail network via a nearby terminal. The port serves container ships, oil tankers and bulk carriers.
