Bosses at Norfolk-based Fendercare have secured a six-figure deal to supply fenders to Great Yarmouth outer harbour.

The firm has won a deal to supply 17 Yokohama pneumatic fenders to port operator Eastport UK after beating off international competition.

Sonia Wells, Fendercare Marine sales manager, said: 'We have previously supplied Eastport UK with a number of fenders and this contract also shows the commitment that Fendercare Marine has to the local supply chain and local economy.'

Jamie Frater, Eastport UK chief executive, said: 'the new Yokohama fenders are a proven product, and provide us with greater flexibility to cater for a range of different sized vessels, further enhancing the attractiveness and suitability of the Outer Harbour to our current and future customers.'
