Security in Bremerhaven: New Fender protect the ship's pier!

At the container terminal Bremerhaven, a significant training was presented on Wednesday morning, which improves the safety of muganizing for container ships. Peter Kara von Bremenports explained to the guests how important technical innovations should help to make the ships being created safer. Even if the "Calisto" with a length of 168 meters and a width of 26 meters is rather small compared to the large container giants of the Maersk shipping company, it has attracted attention.

The terminal itself faces the challenge that enormous powers, i.e. the quays, act when the large ships put on the large ships. In order to counteract this burden, powerful fenders were installed. These special shock absorbers are placed between the ships and the quay and absorb the impact when a ship reaches its jetty - this is what the port employees refer to with the term "touchdown". This procedure minimizes the risk of damage both on the ship and on the infrastructure of the port.

technological progress for more security

Developments in port logistics are crucial to increase the security of creating container ships. Thanks to improved fenders and modern technologies, port workers and captains can work together better. A safer jetty is not only important for the ships, but also for the entire port infrastructure.

The introduction of these security measures could be seen in response to the increasing variables of container ships that are increasingly used in global trade. Dealing with the enormous dimensions of these ships requires adapted technologies and, above all, security concepts to avoid possible accident or damage.

The upcoming adjustments and further developments in the port of Bremerhaven show that the port operators are proactively responding to the challenges of modernization. With these measures, not only security is improved, but also efficiency in the envelope of goods.
