Can a SedCon® Turbo System operate when a ship is at dock?

Yes. SedCon® Turbo Units are placed behind the fender line of the berth allowing them to operate when a ship is at dock. The jet discharge from each unit is designed to pass underneath the bottom of the berthed ship, but if the jet did impinge on the side of the ship, the amount of force exerted is far less than that exerted by natural wind and water currents. The system poses no danger to a docked ship.
