ABSTRACT:
A fender system for a floating structure such as an off-shore platform wherein a column supporting the platform has a plurality of vertically spaced rail members that are interconnected by a plurality of horizontally spaced and vertically extending bumpers that can be contacted by a vessel for transmitting the force therefrom to the fender system. The rail members support a plurality of spaced shafts on which are mounted pairs of interconnected torsion spring members that are operative to exert opposing forces while bearing on the column to absorb the forces exerted on the fender system.
