FENDER ARRANGEMENT FOR DOCKING A MARINE VESSEL WITH A BOAT LANDING OF A MARINE OFFSHORE STRUCTURE

摘要

Fender arrangement for docking a marine vessel (1) with a boat landing (2) of a marine offshore structure (3) such as a wind power plant, including at least one fender unit (12, 13) composed of elastically deformable material and provided with a receiving recess (18) for a docking rail (5) of said boat landing (2). The fender arrangement is especially characterized in that fender unit (12, 13) exhibits an internal deformation control cavity (20) positioned at a distance from the receiving recess (18) within the fender unit (12, 13) and extending at least along the width of said receiving recess (18), controlling deformation of the fender unit (12, 13) into forming a gripping hold of a docking rail (5) by compression of the internal deformation control cavity (20) when the fender unit (12, 13) is pressed against the docking rail (5).
