More floating systems for the LNG industry from Fendercare

Following on from recent successes in the supply of floating fendering systems for the Adriatic LNG, Golar Dubai FRSU and Flex FLNG projects.

Fendercare Marine is currently in the process of supplying a set of jumbo fenders (4.5 x 9.0) to Saipem Spa, Milan.  Won against stiff international competition offering alternative pneumatic fenders of various origins, Saipem selected Fendercare Marine on the basis of a strong commercial proposal for the supply of best-in-class genuine Yokohama fenders fitted with Fendercare’s unique and market-leading design of maximum-protection chain and tyre nets.  This, combined with the unrivalled support philosophy offered to its clients in the LNG industry via a worldwide network of bases and highly-skilled team of globe-trotting fender technicians, convinced Saipem Spa that Fendercare Marine had the strongest through-life proposition on offer to them.

Fendercare Marine's Sales and Marketing Manager Phil Shaw commented: "As the world’s leading supplier of 3rd party offshore Ship-to-Ship (STS) hydrocarbon & dry bulk transfer services, in addition to being the world’s leading supplier of genuine Yokohama units FenderCare is also the world’s biggest owner and operator of these fenders – using them on over 2500 offshore operations each year.  Put simply, we would not entrust our 23 years’ worth of reputation, and our client's vessels and cargoes, to any other brand of pneumatic fender."

The in-house knowledge of their team of STS Superintendents allows Fendercare Marine to provide both engineering and practical advice on the fendering systems from the outset of such projects – well in advance of any steel being cut, and so thereby ensuring that the outcome for the  client is a safe, efficient and reliable fendering operation.
