hitherto been operated require too high a speed of docking,
with the consequence that both the fendering and main

obviate the necessity for heavy renewals in the main
structure and prevent further movement in the gantry
foundations;
(f) That appreciable renewal and maintenance expenditure
on the fendering at both landings must be apprehended so
long as the present rapid conditions of docking obtain.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
