Dock Bumpers: The Unsung Heroes of Safe Berthing These are dock bumpers, a type of fixed fender used at berths for large #ships. Even at very low speeds (e.g., just over 1 knot), the #energy transmitted by a 250,000-tonne ship during berthing is immense. Fenders like these play a critical role in absorbing low-speed impact forces. By compressing a gas-filled cushion, they dissipate the force, preventing damage to both the ship and the wharf. When used in series, these large-scale fenders can handle billions of newton-seconds of #force, making them indispensable for port safety and efficiency. #MaritimeIndustry #Shipping #MarineTechnology #MaritimeInnovation #OceanTransportation #PortsAndTerminals #MarineEngineering #MaritimeLogistics #MaritimeTrade #NavalArchitecture #Seafarers #MaritimeSafety #Oceanography #MaritimeLaw #MarineEnvironment #MaritimeEducation #MaritimeHistory #Shipbuilding #PassionForTheSea
fk for the first instance i just thought about that blood sucking leeches but although looks nice if the contractor for the road done his job. i wasbjust trying to feel the force it would apply it on wall. so with this are they looking this one to the replacement of Tugger???
Interesting
It's impressive that they can handle such enormous, powerful forces.

"Dock bumpers truly are the unsung heroes of safe berthing! 🚢🔧 It's fascinating how these fenders absorb such immense forces, ensuring both ships and docks remain protected. The engineering behind them is critical for maintaining smooth and efficient port operations, especially in handling the massive impact forces even at low speeds. A crucial component for port safety and sustainability! #MaritimeSafety #PortEfficiency #EngineeringExcellence"
