HVG MARINE FENDER 0041: Yokohama Pneumatic Wharf Fender 2.5m x 4m

Yokohama Pneumatic fenders are used in the various applications including ship-to-ship operations, ports and terminals and have proven its quality and performance. With the needs of LNG continuing to develop, fenders play ever-greater role for the safe operations. Yokohama fenders are designed to withstand the extreme environmental conditions and we are committed to contribute to the offshore industry by delivering the superior products.

Several 4.5×9.0 size fenders will be used in between the largest floating production facility in the world and LNG carrier during the side-by-side operation.

Features of Pneuamtic Wharf Fender

1. Soft Reaction Force for Ship and Jetty Structure

The reaction force of Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders does not increase sharply, even under excess load conditions. Therefore, the Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders perform well in such cases, and protect ships and mooring facilities.

2. Advantages at Inclined Berthing

Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders, energy absorption does not decrease at inclined compression up to 15 degrees. Distribution of load is also comparatively even because of the molecular freedom of air and high flexibility of the multi-layered cord-reinforced rubber membrane. This makes the body of a pneumatic rubber fender more shape conformant compared to solid or foam fenders, and thus able to better distribute the load along the hull of a ship or jetty structure during inclined compression.
