Description of marine fender

Pneumatic Fender utilizes compressed air as cushion medium to take in the impact energy of ship. It features favorable flexibility, powerful energy absorption,portability (lightweight) and so on,and its angular compression performance is not liable to degrade.Thus, it is widely used to help ships lighter or moor in open sea or wharf with poor berthing conditions.

Operation of floating pneumatic fender

For large oil tankers,normally 4-6 sets of pneumatic rubber fenders are hanged at the water line of the ship side. A hanging example of fenders is shown in the figure right.When 4 fenders are used,2 sets are placed at the front and 2 sets at the rear,they are all large scale fenders.In case 6 fenders are hanged on the ship side,1 small fender will be placed at ship bow and another small fender at ship stern.

When fenders are not used,they should be craned to the deck and placed on the anti-rolling seats.

In recent years,there is a new upsurge of wharf and port building.Because of the super large ships,the berthing collision energy is multiplied.Due to the low energy absorption and large reaction force of previous rubber fenders at the wharf, The ship side and docks usually may be damaged.The low compression reaction force property of pneumatic rubber fender conforms to the dock construction light-weighting trend and protects the ship side from damage as well.Therefore,Florescence Pneumatic rubber fenders are widely used in large-scale docks,wharves and offshore platforms.
