This, combined with the unrivalled support philosophy offered to its clients in the LNG industry via a worldwide network of bases and highly-skilled team of globe-trotting fender technicians, convinced Saipem Spa that FenderCare had the strongest through-life proposition on offer to them. FenderCare’s Sales and Marketing Manager Phil Shaw commented:
“As well as being the world’s leading supplier of genuine Yokohama units, FenderCare is also the largest owner and operator of these fenders – using them on over 2500 offshore operations each year. Put very simply, as the market leader in 3rd party offshore Ship-to-Ship (STS) hydrocarbon & dry bulk transfer services we would not entrust our 23 years’ worth of reputation, our client’s vessels and cargoes, to any other brand of pneumatic fender.” The in-house knowledge of their team of STS Superintendents allows Fendercare to provide both engineering and practical advice on the fendering systems from the outset of such projects – well in advance of any steel being cut, and so thereby ensuring that the outcome for the client is a safe, efficient and reliable fendering operation.
