Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fender
Description:
The Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fender is a specialized marine fender designed to provide protection and prevent damage during ship-to-ship and ship-to-dock operations. It is a type of floating fender that utilizes compressed air and high-quality rubber materials to absorb impact energy and safeguard vessels and structures.
The fender is constructed using multiple layers of synthetic rubber and nylon cord fabric, which are vulcanized together to form a durable and resilient structure. This design allows the fender to withstand extreme forces and provide superior cushioning and protection against collisions and impacts.
One of the key features of the Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fender is its ability to distribute the applied pressure evenly. When a vessel comes into contact with the fender, the compressed air inside the fender allows it to deform and absorb the kinetic energy of the impact. This distributed pressure minimizes the stress on the hull of the vessel and reduces the risk of damage to both the ship and the fender.
The fender is equipped with an air valve that enables easy inflation and deflation, allowing for adjustments based on specific operational requirements. It can be easily installed and relocated, making it a flexible and versatile choice for various marine applications.
The Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fender is widely used in ports, harbors, offshore platforms, and shipyards around the world. It provides reliable protection for different types and sizes of vessels, including large commercial ships, tankers, barges, and cruise liners. The fender's durability, impact resistance, and low-maintenance characteristics make it a preferred choice for ensuring the safety of marine operations and infrastructure.
Fender types are defined as follows:
Type I — net type:
Rubber fender covered by a protection net consisting of these accessories with chain, wire or fiber and these accessories usually with rubber sleeves.
Type II — Sling type:
