Position the cone fenders along the berthing structure at the desired locations, ensuring proper alignment and spacing between Cone Fenders Manufacturers to accommodate vessel dimensions and berthing angles.

Securely attach each fender to the berthing structure using stainless steel bolts, nuts, and fender chains. Ensure that the fenders are securely anchored and capable of withstanding lateral and vertical loads during vessel impact.

Adjust the fender chains to achieve the recommended deflection and standoff distance specified by the fender manufacturer. Proper adjustment ensures optimal energy absorption and fender performance during berthing operations.

 

Regularly inspect cone fenders for signs of wear, tear, or damage, including cracks, abrasions, and deformation. Conduct visual inspections and tactile assessments to identify any abnormalities or irregularities in the fender surface.

Clean the fender surface periodically to remove dirt, debris, marine growth, and other contaminants that may compromise fender performance or integrity. Use mild detergent solutions and soft brushes to gently scrub the fender surface without causing damage.

Check fender chains, bolts, and hardware for tightness and integrity, tightening or replacing as necessary to prevent loosening or detachment during vessel impact.

Monitor fender performance and deflection characteristics during berthing operations, adjusting fender chains or standoff distances as needed to maintain optimal energy absorption and vessel protection.
