Product Description

Floating pneumatic rubber fenders are known as Yokohama fenders or Yokohama-type pneumatic fenders. They are made of synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber sheets with compressed air inside to enable them to float on the water. These fenders work as a shock absorber between two ships (ship-to-ship), or between ships and berthing structures when they come alongside each other. All Yokohama type floating pneumatic rubber fenders are manufactured and tested fully compliant with ISO 17357.

These fenders can be easily handled and installed with guy-rope or guy-chain due to their lightweight. They resist shearing forces and maintain energy absorption levels under inclined compression up to 15 degrees, while providing low and comparatively even hull pressure.

Consisting of several synthetic-cord layers and tough abrasion-resistant rubber, they offer consistent performance even under rough conditions and cyclic loads. Maintenance costs and damage risks are minimized, and high-quality materials ensure self-buoyancy and an extremely long service life.

Fenders Constructions

1. Outer Rubber Layer

Protects the cord layers and inner rubber from abrasion and external forces. This compound has sufficient tensile and tear resistance to withstand severe weather and usage.

2. Synthetic-tyre-cord Layer

Reinforcement layers strong enough to maintain internal air pressure. The inner rubber layer seals the pressurized air inside.

Fender Construction

3. Safety Valve

Fenders with a diameter of 2500mm and larger are equipped with a safety valve to release excess internal pressure during accidental over-compression.

4. Chain and Tire Net

The outside chain and tire net provide extra protection for the rubber fender body and can be easily replaced.

Pneumatic Rubber Fender Types

Classification & Type

Pneumatic Fender Applications

  • Ports with extreme tidal variations
  • Ship-to-ship lightering operations
  • Oil & Gas (typically FSRU)
  • Temporary berthing

Available Types

  • Sling-Type: without chain and tire net
  • Net-Type: with chain and tire net
  • Hydropneumatic Fender: for submarine applications

Product Parameters

Fenders are available with 50kPa (Pneumatic 50) and 80kPa (Pneumatic 80) initial pressure. Internal pressure, endurable pressure, and safety-valve settings are fully compliant with ISO 17357 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard for your pneumatic rubber fenders?
All our fenders are manufactured and tested in full compliance with the ISO 17357:2014 standard, which covers both high-pressure and low-pressure floating pneumatic rubber fenders.
What is the difference between Sling-type and Net-type fenders?
Sling-type fenders are lightweight and used without an external net. Net-type fenders are covered with a heavy-duty chain and tire net for additional protection against abrasion and harsh berthing conditions.
Can these fenders handle extreme tidal changes?
Yes, floating pneumatic fenders are ideal for ports with extreme tidal variations as they float on the water surface and rise or fall with the tide.
Do all fenders come with a safety valve?
Fenders with a diameter of 2500mm and larger are equipped with safety valves as standard. For fenders smaller than 2500mm, safety valves can be installed upon request.
How long is the service life of these fenders?
Due to the high-quality synthetic-cord layers and abrasion-resistant rubber, these fenders are designed for an extremely long service life with minimal maintenance costs.
What are the common initial pressure ratings?
The most common initial pressure ratings are 50kPa (Pneumatic 50) and 80kPa (Pneumatic 80), as specified by ISO 17357.
