Fender Front Panel Design

How to design the front panel?

The main function of front panel is to distribute the reaction forces from fenders units into the ship’s hull, so the design should be suit each individual berth. The loads and stress loads exert to front panel will depend on many factors- the type of ship, berthing mode, characteristic of the rubber fender and tidal range etc. The design of front panel should meet the following requirements:

Resistance to bending moments and shear forces
Resistance to impact on part
There is no deflection on front panel and face pad during the compression
Suitable corrosion protection for intended environment
What’s the structure type of front panel?

The front panel structure includes open style and closed style. The open style consists of steel pad, H steel and across steel. Closed style consists of steel pad, back steel and H steel.

How to decide the dimension of the front panel?

The following requirement should be considered in the design














Therefore if the allowable surface is known, the dimension of the front panel can be determined.

The allowed hull pressure can be obtained from the following table if it’s not available in design

Cylindrical Fender

Cylindrical  Fenders  are commonly used fenders recommendedfor all type of applications to ensure a safeand linear berthing to a variety of vessels. Adequate installation is simply achieved by using chains, bars, ropes or peciallydesigned ladder brackets.

Berthing Approach System(BAS)

The Berthing Approach System (BAS) is used for safe berthing of vessels by measuring the distance, speed and angle of the ship’s bow and stern section in relation to the berth fenders and triggers alarms during the final sideways berthing phase. The BAS comprise the systems to determine a vessels bow and stern approach velocity and display this information on an LED Display, handheld pagers and within the Shore Control Centre. ► The BAS consist of the following components:   ◎ 2 No. lasers   ◎  1 No. large Numeric LED Display   ◎ 2 No. handheld Pagers ► Lasers The lasers shall have the following minimum specifications as listed in Table 9. Criteria Design value Laser Range 0 to 300 [m]. Measuring Distance Accuracy ± 2 [mm] at 0 – 300 [m] Computer Display Distance Resolution ± 1 [mm] at 0 – 300 [m] Large Display Distance Resolution ± 0.5 [m] at 0 – 300 [m] Velocity Range 0 – 99 [cm/s] Measuring Velocity Accuracy ± 0...
