ABSTRACT Device for Protecting Marine Installations Against Icebergs The invention relates to a device for protecting fixed or floating sea installations, for example artificial islands or the like, against impacting icebergs. This device consists of one or more fenders at least partially surrounding the installation at a spacing therefrom. In order to achieve that such a device is as simple and inexpensive as possible and is simple and reliable in its functioning and operation, according to the invention the fender is constructed from an independently floating buoyant body (5) which is anchored in its floating position by a plurality of anchoring chains, ropes or the like (6) to the sea bed (9) and/or to the marine installation (1,2,3), which chains, ropes or the like incline downwards to the sea bed and to the installation are loosely tensioned. This loose tension should be such that the deflection float is movable from its initial position assumed in the absence of external displacement impact in all six spatial degrees of freedom but assumes a central symmetric rest position relative to the marine installation to be protected.
