Ship to Shore Marine Pneumatic Rubber Fenders

Pneumatic ship fender also called pneumatic fender, rubber fender, yokohama fender, made by rubber & multi layer of rubber-dipped tyre fabric, is a leading anti-collision device for marine application in the world today.

Pneumatic ship 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 wharfs and ocean platforms.

a. Outer Rubber 
Cover outside on the ball of rubber layer, which is used to protect skeleton material and inner rubber ball from damage of external force, the main features: high strength, wear resistance, ageing resistance and tear resistance.

b. Synthetic cord reinforced rubber layer 
Reinforced cord rubber layer is composed of winding Synthetic cord layer, It is mainly used for maintain the internal air pressure, which has good elasticity, no deformation and high power etc. 

c. Inner Rubber 
On the ball inside the rubber layer, which is used to prevent air leakage and control the ball pressure. 

d. End Flange
The metal parts at both ends of fender, which can be fitted with charging valve and safetyvalve. 

Pneumatic ship fender is to be constructed of an outer rubber layer, one or more synthetic-tyre-cord layers, and an inner rubber layer. The arrangement of synthetic-tyre-cord reinforcement layers is shown in the picture below, all materials shall be vulcanized firmly.

Diameter:0.3-4.5m

Length:0.6-9.0m

Initial Pressure: 50KPA or 80KPA

1. Oil Tankers, Container Vessels
2. Ship to Ship(STS), Ship to Wharf(STW)
3. Luxury Yachts, Ocean Platforms
4. Large Shipyards, Fender Systerm
5. Military Ports, Warships
6. Large underwater foundations of bridges, etc.

♦ More safety and reliability
♦ Lower Mooring Forces
♦ Adaptable to the Tide
♦ Low Maintenance Cost
♦ Low Reaction Force and Hull pressure
♦ Most Cost Competitive System
♦ Advantage against Shearing Force
♦ Simple and Low Cost Installation
♦ various Optional Fitting
♦ Good elasticity, absorb the impact energy ,it won't compression deformation under the pressure 
♦ Environmental protection, it won't bring the pollution problems to our environment
