The hulls are connected by trusses of round pipes and steel deck transverse beams. Each hull is divided into eight watertight compartments. The pontoon have cylindrical [[rubber]] fenders of 600 mm O.D. installed on both sides to absorb impacts and low reaction loads. Structural provisions have been made for vertical roller fenders at the forward and aft corners on the side facing the ship. The fenders are not installed/fitted. The pontoon is intended for berthing service [[barges]] on a ship by serving as spacers between the service barge and the ship. The pontoon deck is used for temporary storage of cargos during handling/mooring.<ref> | The hulls are connected by trusses of round pipes and steel deck transverse beams.
