    www.thenavalarch.com launches the Fender Design (Berthing Energy) calculator.

    A demo video is below:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1CGDsDbKuc

    This excel sheet calculates the berthing energy which the fenders of a berth need to resist when a vessel is berthing

    It calculates both the Normal berthing energy (EN) and the Abnormal berthing energy (EA)

    This berthing energy can then be utilised to select fenders for the particular berth

    Uses

    Very useful for selecting fenders for a berth
    Calculates the berthing energy for both Side berthing or end berthing
