Ports & harbours

What products does AIS supply for ports and harbours?
- AIS offers a range of marine protection and safety solutions, including fixed and floating fenders, mooring buoys, marker and navigation buoys, chain support buoys, mooring bollards and custom marine protection systems. We can also supply anchors, chains and fittings.
What are harbour fenders used for?
- Harbour fenders absorb impact between vessels and quay walls, jetties, pontoons and other marine structures, helping protect both the vessel and infrastructure from damage.
When should I use fixed or floating fenders?
- Fixed fenders are typically installed permanently on quay walls, jetties and other structures, while floating fenders provide protection where vessels require a movable or floating interface.
What types of fixed fenders are available for quay walls?
- AIS supplies a range of rubber fender profiles, including D, square, cylindrical, M, keyhole and composite fenders, with different fixing arrangements to suit the installation.
Can harbour fenders be designed for specific berthing conditions?
- Yes. Fender systems can be selected and configured according to vessel size, berthing conditions, impact loads, structure and operating environment.
Can mooring buoys be used for large vessels?
- Yes. Heavy-duty mooring buoys can be designed for large commercial vessels and demanding mooring installations, with suitable fittings and buoyancy for the required loads.
Can AIS develop solutions for a specific port or harbour?
- Yes. We can customise dimensions, buoyancy, colours, fittings, materials and configurations to meet specific site and operational requirements.
Can AIS assist in selecting the right solutions for our port?
- Yes. The appropriate solution depends on factors such as vessel size, berthing energy, water conditions, mooring loads, installation type and required service life. We can help develop a solution around the specific application.
