Chain and Tyre Type Protecting Sleeve Jacket Inflatable Jetty Pneumatic Rubber Fender

Chain and Tyre Type Protecting Sleeve Jacket Inflatable Jetty Pneumatic Rubber Fender

1.  Yokohama Floating Pneumatic Marine Rubber Fender Introduction

The "Pneumatic Rubber Fender" was invented in 1958. the progress in the development of pneumatic rubber fenders is closely according to the progress and development of ship technology, which has to continuously cope with progressively larger oil tankers such as VLCC's, ULCC's, large gas carriers, bulk carriers and floating structures.

Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are used world wide for ship-to-ship (STS) transfer operations, terminals, and for all kinds of ships. Since its creation until today, more than millions of fenders have been supplied worldwide both for ship-to-ship and ship-to-dock (STD) operations. These Pneumatic Rubber Fenders play an important role in the safe operation of ship berthing and mooring.

2. Yokohama Floating Pneumatic Marine Rubber Fender Types

There are many type of Yokohama Fender with various functions based on different protective jacket and design.

Henger could provide OEM service and technical design based on customer requirement and actual demand. contact our sales service for more details.

6. Yokohama Floating Pneumatic Marine Rubber Fender Advantages

6.1. Higher Safety and Reliability

Henger Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are made of double inner rubber layers, several layers of strong tire-cord layer,outer rubber layer and are thus resistant to pressure and cutting. The safety factor adopted in the design of pneumatic rubber fender is based on accepted theory and proven by extensive experimentation.

large-size fenders with diameter bigger than 2500mm are equipped with a safety valve to release the inside air in the event of accidental over-pressure. 

6.2. No Deterioration or Variation in Performance

Henger Pneumatic Rubber Fenders utilize the compressive elasticity of air, therefore

performance deterioration due to fatigue is absent.

6.3. Advantages at Inclined Berthing

Henger Pneumatic Rubber Fenders, energy absorption does not decrease at inclined compression up to 15 degrees. kindly refering to the following testing report.

6.4. Most Cost Competitive Docking System

The use of the compressive elasticity of air provides complete and uniform surface pressure on contact, making Henger Pneumatic Rubber Fenders an ideal method for STS, STD.

The surface pressure of the Pneumatic Rubber Fender is equal to the internal air pressure.

Due to low and uniform surface pressure performance, the Henger Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are popular at LNG-ship terminals.

6.5. Soft Reaction Force to Ship and Jetty Structure

The reaction force of Henger Pneumatic Rubber Fender does not aggrandize sharply, even under excessive load conditions. so Henger Pneumatic Rubber Fenders perform well in protecting ships and mooring facilities.

6.6. Lower Mooring Forces in Rough Weather Conditions

the reaction force and deflection of Pneumatic Rubber Fender do not easily reach the maximum because the reaction force increases slowly and allowable deflection is wider. therefore, Henger Pneumatic Rubber Fenders safely protect ships and mooring facilities even under rough weather.
