Calculate the Kinetic Energy of the loaded ship using the following formula.
1 2
E  *M *v
2
Here, mass of the ship in Kg is M , the berthing velocity in m / sec 2 is v .

Substitute 1.2 *10 7 Kg for M , 0.3 m/sec for v .

Calculate the Kinetic energy on one fender using the following formula.
E
E 
per fender N

Here, the Kinetic energy on the complete fender system is E and N is the number of
fenders.

Substitute 540 KN m for E and 4 for N.

Calculation the deflection in a fender using the following formula.

E
per fender
d
F
Here the kinetic energy on one fender is E , the impact load on a fender is F.
per fender

Substitute 135 KN m for E , 400 KN for F.

 0.3375 m
 337.5 mm

Therefore, the deflection of a fender system that has four fenders is 337.5 mm .
