Complete Set of Tugboat Fenders to European Client
Date:2025-09-08
Nanjing Deers has successfully delivered a complete set of tugboat fenders to a European client. It included sausage fenders, W fenders, and DD fenders, ensuring full protection for the tugboats during demanding towing and berthing operations.
Each type of fender is designed for a specific function on the tugboat: sausage fenders are typically installed at the bow and stern, providing strong energy absorption and reliable protection during head-on or rear contact; W-type fenders serve as pushing fenders, allowing the tugboat to push safely against larger vessels; while D-type fenders are mainly fixed along the sides of the tugboat, offering continuous protection and cushioning during berthing or side contact. Together, they create a well-rounded fendering system to ensure safety and efficiency.
Our engineering team worked closely with the client to develop a customized fendering solution tailored to the exact dimensions of the tugboat. This bespoke design not only maximizes energy absorption and hull protection but also ensures optimal performance and durability under tough working conditions.
With this delivery, Nanjing Deers continues to demonstrate its expertise in providing comprehensive fender systems and custom-engineered solutions for both port facilities and specialized vessels such as tugboats.
