QuayQuip will supply the Port of Pointe Noire, Republic of Congo, with a comprehensive upgrade to its fendering and mooring equipment.

Working with contractors SAIPEM (part of the ENI group) QuayQuip will deliver 54 sets of QCN 1400 Cone Fender systems with 3.45m panels. Related orders include Tricorn Bollards rated to 150t, chosen for their superior line angle characteristics, and a full set of access ladders.

Pointe Noire has been a busy port since its opening seventy years ago. The first deepwater port south of Dakkar, it lies 150km North of the mouth of the River Congo, and connects to a transnational rail network via a nearby terminal. The port serves container ships, oil tankers and bulk carriers.

We are happy to announce the new QuayQuip ‘Bollards and Mooring Systems’ Catalogue. It is available for download now. Printed copies will be available in a few weeks – please request your copy now.

Every QuayQuip bollard installed is right for the job, from safety features, coatings and materials down to the choice of anchor. Load fuses can be included in the base plates of the latest generation Tricorn bollards. Custom baseplates are also available for berth upgrades and retrofits.

Floating ‘Mooring Traveller’ systems are available with integrated bollards up to 500kN capacity. QuayQuip’s new Shiphauling Systems, as used on various Flat Pack Ports, comprise remote-operated capstans or winched mules that guide vessels safely under shiploaders.
