Too Many Handoffs, Too Little Accountability
Our core team has been working in the marine fender industry since 2008. Across ports, shipyards, and offshore projects on multiple continents, the same problems kept showing up.
Our Story
From Engineering to Manufacturing
The Problem We Saw
Specs Lost in Translation
The drawing says 50mm polyurea at 95A hardness. The factory hears “polyurea coating, standard.” By the time the fender arrives on site, no one can tell you what was actually applied — and the project engineer is left defending a product they didn’t control.
Quality That Quietly Drifted
The first batch is fine. By the third order, coating thickness is down, welds are rougher, and the surface finish doesn’t match the approved sample. No one flagged it. The factory didn’t change anything — they just optimized for speed.
No Engineering Backup
You ask for a berthing energy calculation. The supplier sends back a table with no methodology, no vessel data, no assumptions stated. You either accept it and hope it’s right, or you hire a consultant to verify work the supplier should have done.
Delays With No Explanation
Production is two weeks behind. You find out when you chase the shipping date. The trading company blames the factory. The factory blames raw material supply. Your installation crew is already mobilized on site.
What We Built
One Company, Full Responsibility
In 2019, we established JettyGuard as an engineering services company — starting from the technical side, not the factory side. That was deliberate. We wanted to understand what buyers actually needed before committing to how we’d produce it.
When we built our own production capabilities in Qingdao, it was to close the loop: the same team that interprets your specification is the team that controls how it gets made.
Today, JettyGuard is headquartered in Chongqing with a production base in Qingdao, supplying LNG terminal operators, port authorities, EPCC contractors, shipyards, and boat builders across 15+ countries.
