The distinct fender arrangement, characteristic of Quebec, was adapted to the specific demands of this tugboat berth, providing adaptable vessel contact and fender coverage across changing water levels

Looking beyond the original tender specifications, SFT worked closely with the project partners to develop a fender solution tailored to the operational and structural requirements of the new berth

Designed to improve vessel guidance, the Donut Fender solution helps maintain the correct vessel position alongside the berth

The 23 Cone Fender Systems supplied for the new berth follows the standard cone fender installation orientation recommended in the PIANC 2024 Fender Design Guidelines 

One year after its opening, SFT's Sollana factory has quickly become a fully integrated part of the Group's global manufacturing network

Projects involving Ocean Guard and Donut Fenders show how reskinning can extend operational service life through a comprehensive technical assessment and PU refurbishment

The upgraded 204 m-long multipurpose berth required Fender Systems engineered for various load cases

The fender solution accounts for the varying tidal range and significant currents present at the site

Supporting one of Africa’s largest port infrastructure developments, SFT supplied more than 250 fender systems and bollards for four different terminals

The rubber units are in pristine conditions, while the steel components and coating system demonstrate strong resistance against corrosion, proving the durability of the Fender Systems

Latest order for QDC in Port of Davisville, RI, includes 12 Cone Fender Systems, 10 Ocean Guards Fenders, bollards and more, for its multi-purpose terminal 5 

Equipped with 14 site-specifically engineered SPC cone fenders, the new waterfront—added to the terminal’s existing 600 meters—increases operational capacity by 30%
