1. The ship is overloaded
This kind of damage often occurs in gangways, especially some old gangways, which often crack at the weak points of the structure. The cracks are generally along the length of the gangway.
2. Friction
This situation generally occurs in fixed V-type and D-type fenders. Fenders are mainly damaged by corners, cracks, and surface scratches. The main reason for this damage is that the friction between the gangway and the ship is too large.
3. Poor anchorage and connection
This situation has occurred in all types of gangways. The gangway is loose, out of position, falling off into the sea and other abnormal phenomena. The main reason for this phenomenon is that the bolts or iron chains that anchor the fender are in poor technical condition, or the maintenance has not kept up. Metal materials such as anchor bolts and iron chains for fixing fenders corrode very quickly in the marine environment and are not easy to replace, resulting in poor fixing of the gangway, which seriously affects the normal use of the fender.
For these reasons, preventive efforts should be strengthened when the ship is traveling. Some of them must be checked before the ship is traveling, and maintenance and repair work must be done at ordinary times. These small details have a great impact on the traveling of the ship. Influence.
