Marine Ship Boat Pneumatic Rubber Fender For Dock Yokohama Fender

• SAFETY PERFORMANCE FOR REACTION FORCE AND ENERGY ABSORPTION.

The purpose of fender is to absorb the kinetic energy of the ship for protection of hull, in this aspect, Pneumatic Rubber Fender is proud of low reaction force and high energy absorption, so does it making it possible for fenders to perform well under even harsh conditions and also to protect ships and facilities against external impact.

• NO DEFORMATION UNDER HARSH ONDITION.

Pneumatic Rubber Fender utilizes the compressibility and elasticity of the air, For this reason, Performance deterioration and deformation of external shape due to fatigue are not absolutely found. It means Pneumatic Rubber Fender can withstand under any harsh circumstances such low temperature and rough weather condition.

• HEAVY DUTY REALIABILITY

Pneumatic Rubber Fender are composed of several rubber layers as well as reinforcement tire cord with strong durability, this enables fenders to be extremely resistant to pressure and shear and tear or any other external impact, In addition, Fenders with larger than 2.0 Dia are equipped with Safty valve to control fender's over pressure on operation by discharging air to outside but also to protect fender.

• HEAVY DUTY REALIABILITY

Because of superior buoyancy of fender supported by seawater, Fender can be moored to ship and jetty by guy rope or chain, etc. In case that fenders get seriously damaged, They can be easily removed from job site with safety, Hence, Maintenance and Repair Cost can be drastically saved.

The Pneumatic Rubber Fender is specifically designed for heavy duty marine and offshore use. The construction of the fender makes it ideal for protecting ships and quays from the forces involved when mooring, either ship to ship or ship to quay.

The Pneumatic Rubber Fender is manufactured and tested in accordance with ISO 17357-1:2014. This is the only standard ensuring high quality fenders. Each fender can be supplied with individual class certificate (ABS) showing conformance to ISO 17357:2014-1.

Fender Applications

• In ports with extreme tidal variations
• Ship-to-ship lightering operations
• Oil & Gas (typically FSRU)
• Temporary berthing

What does ISO 17357-1:2014 define?

This standard focuses on materials used, the general design of the fender, its skin layers as well as the testing of the finished product. What it specifically not does, is requiring a specific production method in order to be open for future developments and to avoid any misunderstanding, that there is only one ‘correct’ method. Pneumatic Fenders can be produced using different methods and each has its own advantages when compared correctly. The most common methods are molded and wrapped, and the standard does not rate one production method over the other. Choosing a production method is the freedom of the manufacturer and keeps the door open for invention. What counts is that the high-quality Pneumatic Fenders comply with the requirements of ISO 17357-1:2014, no matter how they are manufactured.
