Tag: Pneumatic Fenders in Mena

The heart of Fujairah, one of the world’s busiest ship-to-ship (STS) transfer hubs, a recent event proved just how critical timely procurement support can be.

With vessels already en-route, a delay would mean mounting demurrage costs, idle crews, and strained coordination between charterers and receivers. Traditionally, sourcing replacement fenders on short notice would involve international suppliers, extended customs clearance, and a waiting game that could last days.

For an operation that runs on precision timing, that wasn’t an option.

The Turning Point: Local Access, Global Reliability

Our platform, known across the MENA region for connecting maritime buyers with verified suppliers, enables operators within Fujairah to locate and procure certified Trelleborg-type pneumatic fenders—available within the region ready for deployment. Within hours, the replacement units were mobilized from a local stock point and transported directly to the Fujairah anchorage. No customs delay, no extended downtime, no compromise on quality avoiding significant demurrage fees and, perhaps more importantly, reinforced credibility with charter partners.

Ship-Around’s digital procurement ecosystem simplifies sourcing by bridging real-time availability with verified maritime suppliers across the Gulf, ensuring vital STS assets—like fenders, hoses, and lifting gear—are always within reach.
