Rubber Marine Fender also called pneumatic fender, rubber fender, yokohama fender, made by rubber & multi layers of rubber-dipped tyre fabric, is a leading anti-collision device for marine application in the world today. Marine fenders have become an ideal ship protection medium against collision among ship-to-ship (STS), ship to quay (STQ) and ship-to-berthing (STB), they are widely used for large tankers, vessels, docks, harbor wharf and ocean platforms.

Product Description

Floating pneumatic fenders are used worldwide in Ship-to-Ship (STS) transfer operations, docks and various vessels. Used in ship-to-ship and ship-to-dock operations, fenders play a vital role in the safe operation of ship berthing and mooring.

ISO 17357-1:2014 certified

Guaranteed energy absorption

Low hull pressures

Chain tyre net and Sling type

Thick skin construction

Good angular performance

Advantages at Inclined Berthing

Ships usually make initial contact with the dock or another ship on STS operations at an oblique angle. In the case of solid rubber fenders or foam fenders, rated reaction force and energy absorption decreases considerably at inclined compressions compared with parallel compression. In order to compensate for the decrease of energy absorption at inclined compression, it is necessary to use larger sizes in the case of solid rubber fenders or foam fenders.

In the case of Jerryborg Pneumatic Rubber Fenders, energy absorption does not decrease at inclined compression up to 15 degrees.

Distribution of load is also comparatively even because of the molecular freedom of air and high flexibility of the multi-layered cord-reinforced rubber membrane. This makes the body of a pneumatic rubber fender more shape conformant compared to solid or foam fenders, and thus able to better distribute the load along the hull of a ship or jetty structure during inclined compression.
