Engineering

For over 30 years the Inshore Systems team has provided integrated designs which optimise ship-to-shore operations.

Ports, consultants and contractors around the world rely on our unique knowledge of marine structures and ship manoeuvrability. We help clients achieve the best possible efficiency and reliability while guarding against risks, reducing costs and minimising berth downtime.

Fenders

We design, specify and provide procurement services for every type of fender to suit new structures and to replace obsolete systems.

Parallel motion fenders
Cone, cell and element systems
Pneumatic and submarine fenders
Foam and donut fenders
Cylindrical fenders
Composite fenders
Legacy fenders
Spares parts and accessories

Mooring Bollards

Bollards have to be the strongest links in the mooring system. Our expertise helps to define the optimum solution for safe and stable mooring.

New and retrofit bollards
Modern and legacy bollards
Cast steel and cast iron
Factory load testing
In-situ inspections and anchor testing

Quick Release Hooks

We can advise on the best hook solutions to suit safety-critical oil and gas terminals, high-effeciency RoRo berths and many other applications.

Hazardous applications
Mooring load monitoring
Remote release
Capstans and brakes
New build and retrofit designs

Access Structures

Our access structures are built forsafety, reliability and extreme weather resistance. We provide steel and aluminium designs, in light- and heavy-duty short and long spans.

Marine gangways
Passenger boarding bridges
Telescopic walkways
Working and access platforms

Berthing aid systems

Berthing aid Systems (BAS) monitor berthing and mooring operations to improve safety, reliability and turnaround times.

Laser and GNSS berthing aids
AIS-enhanced solutions
Hazard zone systems
Fixed and rotating displays
Traffic lights and digital displays

Moored ship motions

Moored vessel motions (MVM) reduce efficiency and can compromise safety if mooring lines fail. Inshore Systems can perform MVM studies and provide systems for routine, real-time MVM monitoring.

Moored vessel motion studies
Moored vessel motion monitoring
Early warning of vessel migration
GNSS and inertial sensors

Conceptual design and studies

We bring an imaginative approach to berthing and mooring challenges. Using our unrivalled breadth of experience in demanding environments gleaned from thousands of projects around the world, we pride ourselves on innovative answers to difficult questions.

Extending service life

When marine structures and berth equipment reach the end of their design life, we can advise on service life extensions – delaying the need for major capital investments by a few years and sometimes by far longer.
