Experiments at Hydraulic Research Station on models of tankers in order to find means of reducing impacts between tankers and jetties; it was found that substitution of gravity fenders for fenders existing at these particular jetties would reduce impacts to one twentieth; movement of ship can be kept to minimum by use of very stiff mooring ropes or by combination of soft fenders and soft mooring ropes.
