QQMarassi is a unique destination in Egypt with a population of over 6.5 million overlooking the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Within the heart of the resort lies Marassi Marina, the largest on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The marina is equipped with an impressive berthing capacity: 267 berths that can accommodate yachts of different sizes.
Everything has been thoroughly designed in detail for this first-class resort. With that in mind, the client, HOMAN Contracting, requested a special product that ensures safe berthing procedures and non-marking while yachts are moored in the marina. Usually, black rubber is used for fenders, but as black rubber leaves marks on vessels when in direct contact, ShibataFenderTeam proposed using grey, non-marking rubber to preserve the white vessel hull of the luxurious yachts.
The order included 172 extruded fenders (400 x 400 x 3,000 mm and 250 x 250 x 3,000 mm) and 17 cylindrical fenders (500 x 250 x 2,500 mm), all manufactured from grey, non-marking rubber and carrying the assurance of safety during the berthing operations.
The project scope was completed with 55 sets of Special Element Fenders in two sizes, 800 x 2,000 mm and 500 x 1,500 mm. When the manufacturing and transport to the marina was finished, our sales team visited the site and assisted during the installation process, extending a truly customized solution – production and service – to our client.
