QuayQuip just took innovative fender systems a step further with a US $1.75 million Pivot Fender installation, built and installed in China.
Every year the port is scheduled to handle up to 27.6 million tonnes of processed ore using 16,000dwt barges. The berth posed several design challenges: barges may impact the berthing structure over a 13m height range, and wave action on the structure could impose significant upward forces. The design had to take resonance and overturning moments into account.

QuayQuip was the obvious choice to supply fender systems to a new freight RoRo facility at AMC for Chevron. The challenging site called for an expert team who could combine PIANC Type Approved systems with anti-corrosion and wildlife protection measures.
The recently completed facility is the freight supply and fumigation point for a regional LNG development. RoRo cargo vessels of 25,000t displacement will call at a berth equipped with eighteen QCN1200 systems on the side face, and seven QCN800 systems on the stern ramp.
