60 sets Foam Filled Fenders Delivered for 100,000 DWT Cargo Vessel Berthing Project in the Dominican Republic

 Fender type: Foam Filled Fender

Size: Dia2.0m L2.0m

Quantity: 60 sets

Application: Vessel Berthing

Country: Dominican Republic

Year: 2025

Project Overview

Qingdao Florescence Marine Supply Co., Ltd. successfully completed the manufacturing and delivery of 60 sets D2.0m × L2.0m foam-filled marine fenders for a port infrastructure project in the Dominican Republic.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

All foam-filled fenders were manufactured in accordance with international marine industry standards.

Each unit underwent:

· Dimensional inspection

· Foam density verification

· Skin thickness inspection

· Compression testing

· Final appearance inspection

The production process ensured consistent performance, durability, and long service life under demanding port operating conditions.

Application Scenario

The foam-filled fenders were installed to support the berthing operations of a 100,000 DWT cargo vessel.

Large vessels generate significant berthing energy during docking. To ensure safe operations, the fenders were required to provide:

· High energy absorption

· Low reaction force

· Excellent floating stability

· Resistance to abrasion and impact

· Long-term performance in marine environments

The selected D2.0m × L2.0m foam fenders successfully met all project requirements.

Project Performance Results

After installation and operation, the foam-filled fenders demonstrated excellent performance during vessel berthing.

Key Benefits Achieved

✓ Effective absorption of berthing energy

✓ Reduced impact loads on quay structures

✓ Enhanced protection for vessel hulls

✓ Stable floating performance under operational conditions

✓ Reliable long-term docking safety

The successful deployment helped protect both the vessel and port infrastructure while ensuring efficient cargo handling operations.

Conclusion

The successful completion of this Dominican Republic project demonstrates Qingdao Florescence Marine Supply Co., Ltd.'s capability to deliver large-volume marine fender projects on schedule while maintaining strict quality standards.

With proven experience in foam-filled fenders, pneumatic fenders, rubber fenders, and marine protection systems, Florescence continues to support safe and efficient berthing operations for ports and marine infrastructure projects around the world.

FAQ

Q1. How long did it take to manufacture 60sets foam filled fenders?

We completed the production of 60 sets D2.0m × L2.0m foam filled fenders within 45 days, demonstrating our capability to handle large-volume projects efficiently.

Q2. How were 60sets foam filled fenders shipped?

The entire order was loaded into 12 × 40ft containers and delivered to the Dominican Republic safely and on schedule.

Q3. Why use a tire-chain net on foam filled fender?

The tire-chain net protects the fender body from abrasion and impact damage, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.

Q4. How do I select the right foam filled fender size?

Fender size is determined by vessel displacement, berthing energy, and dock structure. Larger vessels require higher energy absorption and larger fender dimensions.

Q5. What vessel was this project designed for?

These D2.0m × L2.0m foam filled fenders were selected for the berthing of a 100,000 DWT cargo vessel.

Q6: Are foam filled fenders suitable for permanent berths?

Yes. They are widely used in ports, terminals, shipyards, and offshore facilities for long-term berthing protection.

Q7. How long can foam filled fenders last?

With proper installation and normal operating conditions, foam filled fenders can provide more than 10 years of reliable service.
