BV Approved Inflatable Marine Rubber Fender

CCS Approved floating rubber fender with tire chain

Pneumatic Rubber fenders have been in use for around 50 years. The development of the Pneumatic Fender has progressed through the years in 

conjunction with the changing shapes, designs and size of ships and ship 

technology. These days Pneumatic Fenders are widely used in the off-shore transfer  of oil and other chemicals. For gas, bulk, car and passanger carriers and on many installations of floating structures, pontoon and off-sore platforms.

Construction of floating rubber fender

1.Outer rubber:

rubber layer that covers the outside of the fender to protect the cord layers and the inner liner rubber from

abrasion and other external forces.

2.Inner rubber:

liner of a rubber membrane that seals the pressurized air inside the fender.

3.Synthetic-tyre-cord layer for reinforcement:

layer made of synthetic-tyre-cord fabric, which maintains the internal air pressure of the fender

4.Towing ring and swivel:

Fenders are fitted with a towing ring and swivel in galvanized steel. Optional: also available with stainless steel chain.

5. Rubber hoses:

Used to protece chains in order to avoid any damage to paint on the ship's hull

Application of floating rubber fender

Floating rubber fender are widely used in port, dock, jettty, quay, shipyard, offshore platform, bridge piers, mammoth tanker, bulk carrier, liquefied gas carrier, container ship, aluminum vessel, yacht etc.
