FENDERS
Location
The corner fenders are installed on protruding corners of the RRDF, though the location of the placement of
cylindrical fenders will vary with the configuration of the RRDF. One configuration, depicting all cylindrical fenders,
is shown below.
Description
There are two types of fenders which are components of the RRDF. These fenders are cylindrical type and
corner type.
Cylindrical Type: There are four sizes of cylindrical shaped fenders that are components of the RRDF. All
cylindrical fenders are constructed of rubber. The 3 ft X 5 ft, 4 ft X 12 ft and the 5 ft X 10 ft fenders are stowed on
specially constructed pallets in their own 40 ft open top container. Two sizes of fenders are used for stand-off from
the sealift vessel. The two sizes are 6 ft diameter and 12 ft long (6 ft X 12 ft), item (1) and 5 ft diameter and 10 ft long
(5 ft X 10 ft), item (2). The sealift fenders each have 100 ft of 5 in. circumference, braided nylon line for securing
them to either the ship or the RRDF. The lighter fenders are supplied with chain for securing the fenders to the RRDF
platform. The chain is stored in the tool boxes located in the fender ISO containers. Two sizes of fenders are used for
stand-off from lighters. The two sizes are 3 ft diameter by 5 ft long (3 ft X 5 ft), item (3), and 4 ft diameter by
12 ft long (4 ft X 12 ft), item (4). The lighter fenders each have 25 ft of ½ in. chain attached at each end for securing
to the RRDF platform modules.
