ShibataFenderTeam supports Dundee Port expansion project

Forth Ports Dundee has undergone substantial renovations in recent times with the construction of a new quayside being the most significant.

To support this expansion project, the ShibataFenderTeam’s Dutch office worked in collaboration with Graham Construction to design and supply a customised solution.

The solution involves 11 double Cone Fender Systems each consisting of two Cone Fenders (SPC 700, G2.1) and a closed box panel with UHMW-PE pads. The size of these steel panels will be 2032×6950 mm, relatively large due to the tidal ranges typically experienced in this area of the UK coast.

Moreover, the project scope also included 8 T-Head Bollards (100t) and 4 Removable T-Head Bollard (100t); the latter customised with an anchor frame to create removability of the bollards during operation.

According to ShibataFenderTeam, following this modernisation, the Port of Dundee will have an additional 300 meters for safe berthing operations and a new heavy lift quay capable of roll-on/roll-off as well as conventional loading and unloading operations.
