Pneumatic Rubber Fender for Fast Ferries & Cruise Ships
1. Pneumatic rubber fender introduction
What is Pneumatic Rubber Fender?
The "Yokohama Type Pneumatic Rubber Fender" was developed in 1958.
Progress in the development of such floating pneumatic rubber
fenders is closely related to the progress and development of ship
technology, and has to continuously cope with progressively larger
oil tankers such as VLCC's, ULCC's, large gas carriers, bulk
carriers and floating structures. Floating pneumatic fenders are
used world wide for ship-to-ship (STS) transfer operations,
terminals, and for all kinds of ships. Since its creation until
today, more than millions of fenders have been supplied worldwide
both for ship-to-ship and ship-to-dock (STD) operations serving our
valuable customers. These fenders play a critical role in the safe
operation of ship berthing and mooring
How does the fender work?
The pneumatic fender or inflatable rubber fender or Yokohama fender
compressed air is used as a buffer medium to absorb the impact
energy of the ship, so that the ship has more flexibility and
flexibility when docking, so as to prevent The impact of collisions
and collisions.
2. Pneumatic Rubber Fender Application
1. Oil and gas tankers
2. Fast ferries and aluminum vessels
3. Temporary and permanent installations
4. Rapid response and emergencies
5. In ports with extreme tidal variations
6. For ship-to-ship lightering operations
7. For all navy vessels due to low hull pressure and the advantage
of a proportional increase of reaction force and energy absorption
