Introduction

Manuplas Ltd, an Advanced Insulation company, specialise in

manufacturing and supplying a range of flotation and protection products

for the worldwide marine and offshore energy markets.

Manuplas was founded in 2003 and in April 2014 became part of the Advanced Insulation Group of Companies.

Advanced Insulation Ltd specialises in the development, manufacture and application of unique syntactic phenolic resin

based foam insulation and fire protection systems for the global offshore oil and gas industry. This provides great

opportunity for Manuplas to work with Advanced Insulation on large scale worldwide projects.

Manuplas currently have two factories located in Plymouth, UK which house some of the best production facilities

within the industry. Our in-house design and development team provide innovative bespoke solutions from concept to

manufactured product with our sprayed, cast and moulded polymer systems.

The Manuplas marine product range includes mooring buoys, navigation buoys, marker buoys, floating fenders, boat

fendering, rope protection and cable protection.

The growth of the renewables industry, and in particular offshore wind farms, has driven Manuplas to spend the last 10

years developing leading concepts for fendering systems mounted on wind farm support vessels and crew vessels, and

in particular modular bow fenders. Through substantial investment in research and development, Manuplas’ product

range now includes market leading solutions for the rapidly growing offshore industry, where lightweight buoyancy

materials for subsea applications are required. Products include:

Installation Buoyancy: modsyn floats, umbilical Flotation, modular buoys, general

subsea buoys and transponder floats.

Engineered Buoyancy: distributed buoyancy modules, bespoke subsea buoyancy, ROV

buoyancy and ROV umbilical flotation.

Protection Products: Centralisers and spacers, cable and flowline protection, sub-tectors,

and crossing separation.

Clamping Solutions: piggyback saddles and clamps, umbilical clamps, compliant clamps,

banding and banding tools.

Overbending mitigation: bend restrictors and bend stiffeners.

Overview:For over 10 years Manuplas have been leading designers and manufacturers of bespoke fendering systems,

constructed from high performance physically cross-linked polyethylene foam and sprayed in a polyurethane

elastomer skin. Sprayed fenders can be applied to the side of a vessel, or the bow.

Bow fenders can be manufactured and installed as a single piece or as a series of multiple modules to suit the

specific vessel. Popular applications of Manuplas sprayed fender systems include wind farm support vessels, work

boats, pilot boats, lifeboats and patrol boats.

Fender Service:Manuplas’ Bow Fenders have many benefits:

Considerably lighter (up to 60% compared to traditional rubber D fenders),

improving both speed and fuel consumption of vessels.

Highly impact absorbent with the ability to withstand the harsh offshore

environment, allowing safe access to turbines.

Very high abrasion resistance as a result of in-house development of a bespoke outer coating.

A virtually non-marking external finish.

Sprayed Boat Fendering

+

+

+

+

Fender Design:Flexibility on the shape, size and technical specification of the fendering enables Manuplas to find a solution for

specific vessels without the need to invest in mould tooling.

A tailored solution for each boat’s characteristics can be designed and manufactured. Anti-slip surface coating

and a selection of fendering colours can be offered.

Testing & Analysis:We have the ability to validate new designs and test performance by a combination of prototype testing and

finite element analysis.

Fender Test Rig Capabilities:Manuplas are able to test and evaluate the performance of fendering products.

Manuplas can provide data on: Fender compression strength, Performance under a sustained load, Fatigue

analysis by repeated compression.

Tow-Tectors

OverviewManuplas manufacture Tow-Tectors which are moulded sleeves designed to provide impact, abrasion and wear

resistance to mooring chains, ropes and cables. Tow-Tectors are available in a range of diameters and lengths to suit the

application and can be supplied as a one-piece sleeve or a two-piece bolt together assembly for retro fitting. Differing

external geometries can be provided for instance to limit rolling or meet other challenges in use. These products may

be used in conjunction with Manuplas polyurethane clamps to secure to the mooring system in use.

Features:One-piece or two-piece options.

Range of diameters, length and external geometries.

High performance moulded polyurethane elastomer.
