Cell 1150H Fender System Supplied for Port Infrastructure Upgrade in Costa Rica
Country: Costa Rica
Year of Delivery: 2025
Application: Commercial Port Berthing Facility
Product Type: Cell Rubber Fender System
Model: Cell 1150H
In 2025, Qingdao Florescence Marine Supply Co., Ltd. successfully completed the supply of a Cell Fender System for a port infrastructure upgrade project in Costa Rica. The project aimed to enhance berth protection capabilities, improve vessel berthing safety, and extend the operational lifespan of the quay structure.
For this project, Florescence supplied Cell 1150H Rubber Fenders designed to withstand high berthing energies generated by cargo vessels and service vessels operating in the region. The fender system was engineered to provide reliable performance under demanding marine conditions while minimizing reaction forces transferred to the quay wall.
The Cell Fender System was delivered successfully according to the project schedule and installed as planned.
Following commissioning, the berth achieved:
· Improved vessel berthing safety
· Enhanced protection of quay infrastructure
· Reduced maintenance requirements
· Increased operational reliability
· Long-term cost-effective performance
The successful completion of this Costa Rica project further demonstrates Florescence's capability to provide high-quality marine fender solutions for ports, terminals, shipyards, and offshore facilities worldwide.

Q1: Which marine fender types do you supply?
A: We supply cone fenders, cell fenders, arch fenders, cylindrical fenders, D fenders, tugboat fenders, foam filled fenders, pneumatic fenders, W type fenders, and square fenders.
Q2: What is the difference between cell fenders and cone fenders?
A: Cell fenders are cost-effective and suitable for general berths, while cone fenders provide higher energy absorption efficiency and lower reaction force for large vessels.
Q3: What materials are used for frontal panels and facing pads?
A: Frontal panels use marine-grade steel with anti-corrosion coating, while facing pads commonly use UHMW-PE material with high wear resistance.
Q4: How do you select suitable marine fenders?
A: Fender selection depends on vessel size, berthing energy, tidal variation, berth structure, and operational conditions.
Q5: Can fenders be supplied with accessories?
A: Yes. Complete systems can include anchor bolts, chains, shackles, frontal panels, UHMW-PE pads, and installation brackets.
Q6: What anti-corrosion treatments are available?
A: Available treatments include hot-dip galvanizing, epoxy coating, marine paint systems, and zinc-rich primer coating.
Q7: Do you provide installation guidance?
A: Yes. We provide installation drawings, technical manuals, anchor layout recommendations, and remote engineering support.
Q8: How often should marine fenders be inspected?
A: Regular inspection is recommended for rubber condition, bolt tightness, chain wear, corrosion status, and panel alignment.
Q9: Can your marine fenders operate in harsh marine environments?
A: Yes. Our marine fenders are designed for harsh environments with UV-resistant rubber compounds, corrosion-protected steel components, and wear-resistant UHMW-PE pads.
