Product Description
Inflatable Rubber Fender High Energy Absorption Durable Wear Resistant
Yokohama Rubber Fender is a pneumatic marine fender system designed for controlled energy absorption during vessel berthing, mooring, and offshore transfer operations. The structure is based on a pressurized air chamber reinforced with multiple layers of synthetic tire cord fabric and an outer marine-grade rubber shell. This composite structure enables the fender to convert vessel kinetic energy into compressed air energy, thereby reducing impact transmission to both hull structure and quay infrastructure.
Case Study - LNG Terminal Berthing System Upgrade, Northern Europe
A coastal LNG terminal in Northern Europe operating under low-temperature marine conditions required an upgrade of its existing berthing protection system due to increased LNG carrier traffic and higher displacement vessels entering the terminal. The original fixed rubber fender arrangement showed elevated reaction force levels during berthing events, leading to concerns regarding quay wall load distribution and long-term structural fatigue.
Following commissioning, measured berthing data indicated a reduction in peak reaction force levels and improved vessel alignment during approach phases. Operational reports confirmed more stable docking behavior under crosswind conditions and reduced corrective maneuvering by tug operations.
