Abstract

This paper describes detailed investigations of the analysis and design of a proposed fender system for condensate and sulphuric acid jetty at Senoro, Central Sulawesi. Fender is basically the interface between a vessel and the berth facility. This medium serves to absorb a certain portion of the kinetic energy of a vessel without damage to the vessel and the waterfront structure. Finite elements analysis was performed on a cell fender system subjected to impact load caused by a vessel collision. The impact load was converted into equivalent static load. The selection of the most efficient fender system is based on the principle on energy absorption of the system to the impact load and stress analysis deflection. Fender system consist of steel structure property for fender panel and styrene butadiene rubber property for fender rubber was designed for Condensate and Sulphuric Acid Jetty with maximum tensile strength of 16 MPa.
