Trelleborg wins largest ever foam fender contract
Trelleborg Marine Systems has been awarded the largest ever foam fender contract in terms of size and value.
The contract is to supply France’s largest port, Port of Marseille, with approximately 700 SeaGuard foam fenders and accessories, including chains and anchors. Trelleborg will also supply UHMW-PE plastic pads, which with be fitted to the quay wall to prevent abrasion of the fender body.
The fenders are required to accommodate the diverse range of vessels which come to berth at the port. These include roll-on/roll-off car ferries, container ships, cruise ships, bulk carriers and even larger vessels such as tankers and containers.
