Seaward I n t e r n a t i o n a l ' s Sea Cushion® marine fenders are now a key part of the Danish Coast Guard's oil pollution control equipment.
The three large 8 by 12-foot fenders will be in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and o t h e r Danish coastal waters. They will be placed between the salvage vessel and stricken vessels, which have been damaged or have run aground.
This will permit the transfer of fuel or oil cargo from the disabled vessel before the oil can spill into the sea.
These fenders are the same size as the Sea Cushions previously s u p p l i e d to the United States Coast Guard Pollution Control Strike Team. They are designed to be transported in a C-130 aircraft, by helicopter, or on a single truck for good mobility.
Sea Cushion fenders are filled with r e s i l i e n t energy-absorbing foam and covered by an abrasionresistant e l a s t o m e r j a c k e t reinforced by thousands of feet of continuous nylon cord. Additionally, these Sea Cushions are enclosed in an orange-colored elastomer coated, nylon web net which is designed for safety, high visibility and structural support. Sea Cushions are also available with other net styles, including a chain net with tires.
