SEA GUARD ™ fenders give old dock facilities a new lease on life. Our SEA GUARD is a tough, superbly engineered dock fender that can turn old, non-productive dock facilities into highly productive assets. Its closed-cell foam interior allows it to absorb high berthing energy impacts with low reaction forces, providing both dock structures and vessel hulls with a rugged protection like they've never had before.

SEA GUARDs also come in a wide range of sizes, allowing you to up-grade your dock to ac- commodate today's larger ships. And it does all this at a lower cost to you than complete refur- bishment or replacement of facilities.

Due to SEA GUARD'S unique design and outer elastomer skin, maintenance is minimal.

There are no timbers to break or be damaged by corrosion or marine borers, and the smooth exterior won't scrape a vessel's hull paint.

Also, because of its design, the SEA GUARD is easy to install — it simply hangs from your dock with pad eyes and chains. It's suitable for use on new or existing container, bulk cargo, Ro-Ro, tanker or general cargo berths.

So get SEA GUARD fenders for your dock facilities. It's the simple, economical way to give old docks new life.
