During the SLOM 2025 event, Monil Patel, Managing Director of ABC Rubber Products, shared the company’s most relevant advances in the development of marine fenders and mooring solutions for port terminals and offshore structures.
Global presence from India to Panama
With manufacturing headquarters in India and a logistics network capable of supplying ports worldwide, ABC Rubber Products has established itself as one of the main suppliers in the sector. From its operations center in Panama, they serve the needs of the Latin American market, with an outstanding participation in ship-to-ship operations and maritime transfer projects.
An expanding technical portfolio
In his speech, Patel highlighted the evolution of its technical solutions. One of the most important advances is the development of the complete range of pneumatic fenders, significantly expanding its offering, which was previously limited to a single size. These fenders, specifically designed to withstand extreme loading and wave conditions, are aimed at offshore operations and ship-to-ship transfers.
He also explained that all products are made from compounds specially tested in master batches, which guarantees consistency in the technical performance and reliability of each fender manufactured.
Mooring safety: bollards in three variants
Another point addressed was the development of bollards or mooring posts. ABC offers this essential accessory in three types of materials: cast iron (CI), stainless steel (SS) and cast steel, adjusting to the safety requirements of each terminal. This versatility has earned them a solid reputation in the Indian market, with a growing international projection.
Consolidated confidence in Latin America
According to Monil Patel, the brand is widely recognized among companies specializing in ship-to-ship transfers in the region. Thanks to the technical quality of its products and its ability to deliver efficiently, ABC Rubber Products has positioned itself as a reliable partner in Latin America for demanding maritime projects.
