Ship to Ship Operation
1. Generally speaking, for the light duty ship to ship operation, two contact points are enough. But for hte heavy duty ship to ship operation, 1 or 2 extra pneumatic rubber fenders should be used to increase the safety. These fenders are used as the primary fendering to absorb the berthing energy, and keep proper stand off distance between two ships. Meanwhile, two or more small-size fenders can be hung on the ship hull as the secondary fendering.
2. The pneumatic rubber fenders should be hung by guy chains or gy ropes, which should be selected depending on the different size and weather condition. Evergreen Maritime pneumatic rubber fenders are supplied with two end shackles that connect the fender body with guy or guy ropes.
