Yokohama Marine Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fender
Pneumatic rubber fenders are the leading anti-collision device for marine application in the world. These are often installed on docks or ships.
The fenders are inflated with compressed air and can be buoyant on the water surface, serving as a protective barrier for vessels or docks against collision damage.
Their purpose is to absorb or reduce the collision energy between ships and ships and between ships and docks.
This compressed pneumatic rubber fender is used as a protective medium for ship to ship contact (STS), ship to quay (STQ) and ship-to-berthing (STB).
The pneumatic rubber fenders, also referred to as air-filled rubber fenders or floating fenders, can be supplied in various sizes and types.
The use of a tyre-net type chain is typically recommended for protecting the fender body, although options such as sling type or body-only are also available.
