PsG LE Fender System with steel panel now in place in Södertälje channel

2024-09-11

During 2024, about 50 PsG LE Fender systems have been delivered and installed in the Södertälje channel to protect quays and ships in the channel. Södertälje lock and channel are to be renewed and with that work the safety and accessibility of the waterways through Södertälje and Lake Mälaren are to be improved.

On a cold spring day we inspected the first fenders in place.
The mounting went smooth and easy. The choice of fenders was the PsG LE rubber fender PsG Marine LE Fender with a frontal steel shield with UHMW-PE plastic, for ships to slide against the surface. The rubber legs do their job between the quay and the ship by receiving the energy by impact. The ladders also needed a lift and new PsG steel ladders PsG Marine Steel Ladder were installed. Additional there was a need of about 30 new Bollards.PsG Tee Head Bollard
The purpose of the Mälar project is to improve maritime safety and accessibility in the public waterways through the Södertälje channel for onward journeys into Mälaren. By improving the infrastructure for shipping on Mälaren, the railway and road network, which are heavily loaded, can be relieved.

PsG PARALLEL MOTION FENDER

2021-09-21

PsG PARALLEL MOTION FENDER is a uniquely designed complete fender system. A swivel lever-arm is placed between the structure, could be concrete or steel, and the front panel. The panel movement during the continuous fender compression, allowing it to move only parallel to its mounting irrespective of the impact level and angle.

The advantage of PM fenders (parallell motion fender)is the system provides identical energy absorption capacity at any impact level. The reaction force is much lower in comparison with the conventional fender systems and the lower reaction force result in less hull pressure and lighter structures, which can lead to significant savings in a complete project.

Last but not least, installation takes place above water and the fender system is lifted into place in one swipe and you get away from chain arrangements.

The panels can be adapted for a number of different rubber elements such as PsG LE elements, PsG cell fender PsG cone fender etc.

FENDER SYSTEMS FOR PORT OF TRELLEBORG

2020-08-27

Port of Trelleborg has two new Ferry locations and Portsuppliers Group has designed and delivered the Marine Fender Systems to both.
The choice of Fender Systems at location FL13 was closed panels with UHMW-PE face
pads and PsG LE Rubber Elements along with chain system. In the location FL14 the choice fell on PsG Arch Fender. Mooring PsG Tee Head Bollards on both locations.

PORT SUPPLIERS GROUP PRIDE SPONSOR OF LE-V FENDER SYSTEM FOR LIFE BOAT INSTITUTION IN FALSTERBO

2020-04-27

Since the end of January the new LE-V fender system is mounted and ready to use for the new Lifeboat Institution in Falsterbo.

A cold January day the raft was ready to use for mounting the fenders. The choice of marine fender system was LE-V fender, which has two rubber legs mounted with a shield of UHMW-PE. The rubber leg for optimal energy absorption and the low friction shield to glide on. As there are tide difference in the Falsterbo channel it is important that the boat can glide sufficient when moored.

Now we wish them good luck! If you are interested in Lifeboat Institution you can read more for example on Royal Nation Lifeboat Institution – Saving Lives at Sea.

PSG FENDER SYSTEM WITH CLOSED STEEL PANELS AND LE RUBBER UNITS WITH CHAIN SUPPORT

2020-01-13

PsG steel panels are designed for optimal strength. Most often, the focus lays on rubber fender elements, but at high forces, the steel panel is as important as the rubber units on high-performance fender systems, this because the fender panels distribute reaction forces throughout the panel and give low hull pressure on vessel. The panel design may withstand large tidal variations and line loads. Another advantage of distributing the forces is that the panels can be designed for interconnection. For more secure mounting, the panels are designed with chains. PsG steel panels are designed either as open panels or often as closed box systems. With closed box systems, the panel is always airtight pressure controlled. Corrosion protection is provided by color systems with high durability in C5M class. The panels can be adapted for a variety of rubber elements PsG LE elements, PsG cell fenders PsG cone fenders etc.
