Frequently Asked Questions
What size fender do I need for my superyacht?
Fender size depends on your yacht's length, draft, and typical docking conditions. Standard sizing: 40-60m yachts typically use 700-900mm diameter fenders; 60-100m yachts use 900-1100mm. We recommend a professional assessment to ensure proper protection.
What is the difference between Polyform and other fender types?
Polyform fenders are polyurethane-based with excellent durability and UV resistance. They're preferred for superyachts due to superior performance. Closed-cell foam fenders are lighter and cost-effective for smaller vessels. We can advise on the best choice for your vessel type.
How often should mooring lines be replaced?
Marine-grade mooring lines typically last 3-5 years depending on usage, UV exposure, and storage conditions. We recommend annual inspection and replacement of any lines showing wear, chafe, or UV damage.
What is SWL and why is it important?
Safe Working Load (SWL) is the maximum load a component can safely handle. For bollards, cleats, and fairleads, SWL must exceed your vessel's displacement and wind load forces. Always choose components rated well above your anticipated loads.
Can you supply custom fender arrangements?
Yes, we offer fully custom fender bridles, brackets, and positioning systems. Provide vessel lines and docking requirements, and we'll design a tailored solution for your specific hull shape and mooring needs.
Do you offer delivery and installation?
We arrange worldwide delivery and can coordinate with local rigging companies for professional installation. Lead times vary by location; contact our team for specific timelines and costs.
What certifications do your products carry?
All products comply with relevant marine standards (ABS, DNV, Lloyd's, SOLAS where applicable). We supply original documentation and certificates. Request specific certifications when placing your RFQ.
What is the lead time for large orders?
Standard items ship within 1-2 weeks; custom fenders and bulk orders may take 4-8 weeks depending on specifications. We'll confirm exact lead times with your quote. Rush options available.
