Round Fenders
The principal
function of the fender system is to prevent the vessel or the dock from
being damaged during the mooring process or during the berthing
periods. Forces during the vessel bething or anchoring may be in the
form of impact abrasive action from vessels or direct pressure. These
forces may extensive damage to the ship and structure if suitable means
are not employed to counteract them. The amount of energy absorbed and
the maximum impact force imparted are the primary criteria applied in
accepted fender design practices.
