The berthing of ship to the quay is the last stage of navigation process in marine shipping. During the ships berthing the impact in berth can occur and in result the appearing of energy in ship - fender device - berth system. The exceeding of admissible value of this energy leads to damage of one of these elements and in effect causes the accident. The accident can happen as unwanted event connected with negative consequences (damage of ship and port structure). It can be connected with ship's strike in quay. The fenders are devices to protect the port structures and ships bulk while berthing to the quay. Design and choice of fender system should contain selection suitable devices answering of existing or planning construction of structure, which select system should be protected. The buckling type of fenders (arch, conical shape) are the newest generation combining excellent absorbing energy with reaction forces of ship berthing. The paper presents the study of fenders designing based on analytical, experimental and numerical considerations. The paper presents an example of fenders designing. The buckling type of fenders achieved by carrying out of laboratory research was made. The Portowców Quay in Port of Świnoujście real research of ships berthing was carried out.
