The Piombino Port Authority commissioned Resinex for the complete production for the docking safety in the ports of Piombino and Portoferraio on the island of Elba.
This involved 20 giant floating fenders and two corner fenders to protect ships and ferries entering and leaving port from accidental collisions against the jetty.
Four of these are jumbo-fenders with impressive dimensions: 3.3 metres in diameter by 6 metres in length. All the others have a more normal size: 2 metres in diameter by 3 in length.
Resinex fenders are normally produced with a heart of rigid expanded polyethylene and an exterior coating in thick layer of polyurethane elastomer. In the case of Piombino the Port Authority requested an extra protection with a net of chains and tyres. Resinex’s experience in the fender sector is a guarantee of the highest standards of safety and reliability in the world, as can be witnessed by the hundreds of fenders produced and consigned throughout the years.
