SUMMARY The increase in vessel sizes and new developments e.g. special coatings, leads to new requirements on Fender Solutions. Designs have to incorporate all conditions at site and available Norms. Vital data (e.g. velocity) and requirements (e.g. standoff) have to be collected and evaluated thoroughly. The demand for Customised Fender Solutions is increasing and challenges especially the final client when comparing fender designs.
