Petrochemical Machinery Steel Pipe Branch Reinforces Wharf Fenders to Ensure Ship Safety

Sinopec News Network reported on June 7, in the Yangtze River Wharf operation area of ​​the Petrochemical Machinery Steel Pipe Branch Company, with the installation of the last set of rubber fenders completed, the wharf fender maintenance project that lasted nearly two months was successfully completed
.

The installation of anti-collision fenders on the wharf can slow down the impact of the ship and the wharf during berthing or mooring, and reduce or eliminate the damage to the ship and wharf
.

The original fenders in the wharf operation area of ​​the Steel Pipe Branch have been in use for more than ten years, and many fenders were damaged due to the effects of sunlight exposure, river water erosion, and collisions with docked ships
.
In order to completely eliminate potential safety hazards and ensure the safety of the terminal operation area, the company began to implement fender maintenance projects at the end of April to strengthen the terminal fenders to ensure the safety of ships

During the maintenance process, the petrochemical machinery steel pipe branch actively controls the water and weather conditions of the Yangtze River, actively avoids the peak hours when ships are docked, and arranges for contractors to hurry up while ensuring safety without affecting the normal loading and unloading of the wharf to the greatest extent possible During maintenance operations during the loading and unloading period, 20 sets of D-shaped solid rubber fenders with high energy absorption, reaction force and long service life were reinstalled, and the damaged fenders were finally completed before the arrival of the Yangtze River flood peak in summer.

The operation area of ​​the Yangtze River Wharf of the Petrochemical Machinery Steel Pipe Branch is mainly responsible for the internal collection of steel plates and steel coil raw materials, as well as the outward delivery of the company's finished steel pipe products
