The present invention relates to a fender, which is used as cushioning
material mainly at the time of a ship being moored, and a management
system thereof. A transponder is mounted in a fender 1 that is an object
to be managed, and an ID code is read by the transponder in the fender 1
being accessed by terminals 2A through 2D provided in areas where are
areas to be managed and each have one or more terminals. Historical
information showing an installed place and an installed period of the
fender 1 and individual update information including the ID code is
transferred to a control system 4 through communication networks 6A
through 6D. The control system 4 not only stores manufacturing
information and historical information of all the fenders 1 that are
objects to be managed, but also updates the historical information on the
basis of the individual update information received from the terminal 2.
Furthermore, the control system 4 displays the manufacturing information
and historical information of a specific fender 1 designated by an
operator. Thereby, it is possible to perform management of fenders,
installed in being dispersed, in real time.
