Fendercare Marine launches new range of piggyback saddle products

摘要

Fendercare Marine has launched a new range of piggyback saddles to assist pipeline installation for the offshore industry. The new piggyback saddles are made of polyurethane elastomer, a highly flexible, low friction material which Fendercare Marine has extensive experience of using in the design and supply of products to the offshore industry. Piggyback saddles - alongside clamps and spacers - can act as a shaped interface between a pipeline and a cylindrical buoyancy tank, to ensure the tank rides comfortably and safely on top of the pipeline during the laying operation. They can also act as separators during parallel lay installations and are most frequently used when smaller secondary umbilical pipelines need to run along the top of the main pipeline in piggyback formation.
