Pneumatic marine rubber fender is the leading anti-collision device for marine application in the world. This compresses air filler rubber fender is used as a protective medium for ship-to-ship contact(STS), ship-to-quay(STQ) and ship-to-berthing(STB).
Yokohama fender can be delivered in various sizes and types. Chain and tyre net(CTN) type is usually recommended to protect the fender body, but sling type or body only is also available.
Structure
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Inner Rubber
On the ball inside the rubber layer, which is used to prevent air leakage and control the ball pressure.
4. End Flange
The metal parts at both ends of fender, which can be fitted with charging valve and safety valve.
Purpose
♦ Ship to ship berthing
Accompanied by a large ship, the risk of two ship berthing at sea is also increased, especially when the weather changes,
accompanied by wind and waves. Adopt pneumatic fender as side of the buffer, not only make heavy berthing becomes easy, and improve
the efficiency of the transportation operations. Pneumatic fender is mainly used for: Ice in the Antarctic ocean fishing ships,
large oil tanker berthing.
♦ Used for terminal dock protection
Of the ship is very large, the cause of berthing impact energy have multiplied. Inflatable rubber fender because of its high energy
absorption and low reaction force features are widely used.
Application
♦ Oil Tankers, Container Vessels
♦ Ship to Ship(STS), Ship to Wharf(STW)
♦ Luxury Yachts, Ocean Platforms
♦ Large Shipyards, Fender System
♦ Military Ports, Warships
♦ Large underwater foundations of bridges, etc.
