Fendercare Marine, part of James Fisher and Sons plc, has signed a new distribution agreement with one of the global leaders in oilfield procurement services, Craig International - a member of the Craig Group, helping to improve customer service through the local stock and supply of high-quality marine products.

The new stock location, close to the Hamad Port, addresses local supply issues with the provision of a wide stock of marine products, such as fendering solutions, a full range of ropes, chains and shackles and deck and quayside equipment, to support the region’s port, marine and offshore industries. Plans are also in place to offer fender inspection and maintenance services, adding further value for customers.
