On Friday June 20, Fendercare Marine opened the doors of its Great Yarmouth base, showcasing its expansion of products and services over the last two years.
The Fendercare Marine Open Day attendants included a range of existing and new customers, along with members of the Great Yarmouth community. The guests were able to view displays of marine equipment products, lifting equipment, rope splicing demonstrations, height equipment work and load monitoring. During the day, Fendercare Marine MD, Eric Plane, presented a donation to the RNLI, followed by a rescue demonstration from the Gorleston RNLI team.
Fendercare Marine Equipment and Lifting Services originated in July of 2012 to provide shoreside support to wind farm vessels. Since then, it has doubled its warehouse facility to offer onshore crane inspection and testing; mechanical and electrical lifting equipment; hydraulic equipment and winches; lifting tackle and load/stress monitoring equipment along with the availability of many products for sale or hire. These products and services are available to the renewable industry, the offshore oil and gas sector, and onshore industrial sectors, creating a versatile energy and lifting support base.
As part of the expansion, Fendercare Marine provided a specially made Inspection Warehouse for their technician teams to Viking Life-Saving Equipment Ltd.
