Marine fender is a kind of Marine anti-collision device. It is made of synthetic cord reinforced rubber sheet with compressed air floating on the water surface as a protective medium. Therefore, when the barge operation and mooring operation, the Marine rubber fender is used as an important protection medium to prevent collision.

Marine fender can absorb a lot of energy, so that the unit pressure acting on the surface of the ship is reduced. This advantage has made Marine fenders an ideal ship protection device and widely used in large tankers, liquefied petroleum gas vessels, offshore platforms, bulk carriers, floating structures, large terminals, ports and terminals.

Note: The fender is sometimes called "Yokohama fender" or "Yokohama type fender"

1. Fender according to the type can be divided into:

a. Sheath type

b. Suspension type

2, according to the initial internal pressure can be divided into:

Type a. 50 (initial internal pressure 50KPa)

b. Type 80 (initial internal pressure 80KPa)

Marine fender structure characteristics

The basic structure of Marine fender is composed of outer rubber layer, synthetic wire reinforced rubber layer and inner rubber layer. It is a cylindrical fender with hemispherical indenter at both ends.
