Paterson Simons recently facilitated the installation of Trelleborg Cylindrical Fenders & Bollards at a port customer in Ghana.
The scope of this project encompassed several tasks including fixing anchor bolts into concrete for the anchor plates, fitting the chain system and support bars, and placing the cylindrical fenders. Additionally, the installation involved fixing anchor bolts, placing the bollards, and meticulously tightening the bolts to the appropriate torque.
The installed equipment comprised Trelleborg’s Ø800 X Ø400 X 1000MML Cylindrical Fenders and Trelleborg 80T Tee-Head Bollards, both renowned for their durability and reliability.
This marks a significant milestone as it represents the inaugural supply and installation of Trelleborg products at this customer, underscoring the port’s commitment to leveraging top-tier solutions for maritime operations.
Paterson Simons supply ports across Ghana as well as ports throughout the West African regions with Trelleborg’s outstanding fender and rubber products. The range combines low reaction force and hull pressure with good angular performance and rugged construction. Every type of fixed and floating fender system is available including highly advanced Parallel Motion solutions which can reduce structural berthing loads by 50% or more.
Trelleborg has been at the forefront of fendering, berthing and mooring technology for over thirty years. Whether it’s the world’s biggest container ship, the heaviest tanker or the fastest ferry, Trelleborg has a solution and engineers it to work reliably year after year.
Thank you to Godwin Awadzi from Pasico Ghana for his invaluable contribution to this successful installation!
