Design which overcomes difficulties with gravity fenders is composed of vertical frame which ship presses against in berthing; frame is pivoted near top and bottom to links, which are also pivoted to berth; energy of ship is absorbed by lifting plurality of superposed weights; installation of this type may considerably reduce expense in jetty construction.
