The DockSafe fendering system, which is increasingly being seen in European marinas, absorbs up to 53% of energy on impact and reduces the tendency for a boat to bounce off the fender. DockSafe withstands horizontal, vertical and downward forces associated with docking impacts. It also features a surface coating that resists deterioration due to factors such as abrasion, salt water, algae growth, extreme heat and cold, solvents, ozone and UV light. Marina Operators with DockSafe installed report fewer damage claims and happier berth-holders.

There are three sizes - DockSafe Large for boats up to 25 tonnes and DockSafe Standard for boats up to 12 tonnes. Both Sizes are supplied in 2.75m lengths in either navy blue or white. DockSafe Leisure has recently been introduced for owners of boats up to 5 tonnes.

A full range of accessories is available including joiners, end caps, pre-moulded corners, fixings and installation tools.

Berth -holders at several UK marinas now have as option to "rent" DockSafe on an annual basis. If the marina needs to allocate them a different berth, DockSafe will be fitted at their new location.

MDL Marinas is the first group to offer DockSafe fendering as an option within the annual berthing package for its 5,000 berth-holders across 16 locations.

The DockSafe fendering system, which is fitted around the entire length of the pontoon, has for many years been providing stress-free berthing to sailors and motor boaters alike. DockSafe has superior energy absorption properties which give total hull protection. No inflatable fenders are required during berthing - makes life easy for single-handed boaters and can save arguments with the crew!

In the past, some boat owners have been reluctant to buy DockSafe in case they change boat or have their berth changed by the marina,

The innovative new scheme adopted by MDL Marinas removes these concerns and makes life truly stress-free for berth-holders. DockSafe and its distributors Blue Marlin Marine have developed a partnership agreement with MDL to offer berth-holders an option to "rent" DockSafe on an annual basis. If their berth within the marina is changed, DockSafe will be fitted to their new location.

Tony Keeler, Managing Director of MDL, said, "It's out business to make boat owners' time with us as enjoyable as possible. We know that many people find getting their boat out of its berth, and berthing it again safely, can be the most stressful part of a trip. With DockSafe this stress can be greatly reduced, leaving boaters to concentrate on getting more pleasure from their time on water."

Sovereign Harbour Marina has also signed up with DockSafe and Blue Marlin to offer a similar scheme. The Marina Manager at Sovereign sees it as a means of enhancing his service to customers. He explained, "A small additional charge is added to the existing berthing payments. Sovereign arranges for Blue Marlin Marine to fit DockSafe. If a berth-holder is moved to a different berth, the new berth will also have DockSafe fitted. We provide the service - boat owners can relax and enjoy their boating!"

This scheme will also be implemented by Royal Clarence Yard at Gosport and is under consideration by a number of other marinas.

DockSafe was voted 'Best Buy' in an article on Quay Fendering in the June 2003 edition of Motor Boats Monthly. DockSafe Pro (now known as DockSafe Standard) was awarded 5 out of 5 for effectiveness with DockSafe Leisure following close behind with 4 out of 5. An entire page was dedicated to DockSafe from the three page article. 'Our choice for the home berth of our 33ft motor cruiser was DockSafe, which we judged to be in a different league from any other fendering system, offering the best possible combination of absorption and protection.....'

Two of the leading marinas in the U.K. will soon be offering their berth holders the option to include DockSafe in their standard berthing package. If a berth holder asks to have DockSafe fitted, the small extra cost will simply be built into the existing payment scheme for their berth. Under the scheme, should a berth holder be moved to a different berth by marina staff, their new berth will also have DockSafe fitted.

Sovereign Harbour, awarded TYHA Five Gold Anchor Award and the Euromarina Award and Royal Clarence Marina, England's newest South Coast Marina will implement the DockSafe Scheme in the coming months.
