1.5*3 Pneumatic Rubber Fender ISO Certificate Yokohama Fender  Marine Rubber Floating Pneumatic For Ship To Quay Pneumatic Fender

Product Description:

Material Advantages:
 

Pneumatic Rubber Fender is an abrasion-resistant rubber fender filled with high pressure air. It is the leading anti-collision device for marine application in the world. This compressed air filled rubber fender is used as a protective medium for ship to ship contact (STS), ship to quay (STQ) and ship-to-berthing (STB). Pneumatic Fenders are available in diameters ranging from 300mm to 4,500 mm and lengths ranging from 500 mm to 9,000 mm, as well as special sizes. All sizes are available as sling-type or with a heavy duty chain & tire net.

Manufacturing Process:
 
Precision Cutting: Utilizing CNC laser cutting technology, precise cutting of the material fabric is carried out to ensure a dimensional error of ≤ 1%, meeting the requirements for the formed shape after inflation.
Reinforced Double Stitching: At key seams, double-thread sewing combined with heat-pressed edge sealing technology is employed to enhance the sealing performance and tear resistance, preventing air leakage or thread breakage after inflation.
High-Pressure Heat Bonding: The fabric seams undergo high-temperature and high-pressure heat bonding treatment, achieving high fusion and enhancing the overall structural strength to withstand collisions and impacts in marine environments.
Multi-Layer Coating Treatment: The surface is sprayed with UV protection layer and wear-resistant coating for dual protection, isolating ultraviolet rays and seawater erosion, and prolonging the service life.
Strict Air-Tightness Testing: The finished product undergoes a 24-hour high-pressure inflation test, with a pressure retention rate of ≥ 98%, ensuring no hidden leaks and stable sealing.
Edge Reinforcement Molding: The edges are treated with thickened edge wrapping and reinforced fastening design to strengthen the stressed points and prevent wear and deformation over long-term use.

Feature:

Optimal Impact Absorption
The 1.5m diameter × 3m length dimension is engineered to deliver balanced energy absorption and reaction force, effectively cushioning berthing impacts between vessels and docks, or during ship-to-ship (STS) operations. It minimizes hull damage and structural wear for both small-to-medium vessels and docking facilities.
Heavy-Duty Durability
Constructed from high-quality synthetic rubber (e.g., neoprene or nitrile rubber) with reinforced cord layers, the fender resists seawater corrosion, UV radiation, oil contamination, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Its robust design ensures long service life in harsh marine environments, reducing maintenance frequency and costs.
Lightweight & Easy Installation
Compared to traditional solid rubber fenders or concrete bumpers, the pneumatic structure is lightweight relative to its performance. It can be quickly installed with standard marine-grade chains, brackets, or floating pontoon systems, requiring minimal specialized equipment and labor.
Adjustable Buoyancy & Performance
The internal air pressure can be fine-tuned according to actual berthing conditions (vessel tonnage, wave height, berthing speed). This adjustability ensures optimal protection for both high-freeboard vessels and low-draft ships, adapting to dynamic port operating scenarios.
Low Maintenance & Cost-Effective
The sealed pneumatic design prevents water ingress and debris accumulation. Routine maintenance only involves periodic pressure checks and visual inspections for surface wear, eliminating the need for complex disassembly. Over its lifecycle, it offers a higher cost-performance ratio than alternative fendering solutions.

Technical Parameters:

Material: Mainly made of natural rubber and nylon rope.
Type: Includes chain net type (CTN Type) and sling type (Sling Type), etc.
Size: Diameter range is 0.5 - 4.5 meters, length is 1.0 - 12 meters.
Certification: Complies with ISO 17357 standard, and can also obtain certifications from CCS, BV, ABS, etc.

Applications:

Small-to-Medium Port Terminals
Ideal for ports handling coastal cargo ships, fishing vessels, passenger ferries, and workboats with tonnage ranging from 500 to 10,000 DWT. Suitable for both fixed concrete docks and floating pontoon berths.
Ship-to-Ship (STS) Operations
Widely used in offshore cargo transfer, LNG bunkering, and supply vessel operations. It provides a stable buffer between two vessels during alongside loading/unloading, ensuring safe and efficient cargo handling at sea.
Yacht Clubs & Marinas
A premium choice for protecting luxury yachts, sailboats, and recreational craft. Its lightweight design avoids hull scratches, while its aesthetic appearance complements the marina environment.
Offshore Platforms & Workboats
Applied to offshore oil/gas platforms, wind farm service platforms, and dredging vessels. It cushions the impact of supply boats and crew transfers, enhancing operational safety in remote offshore areas.
Fishing Harbors & Coastal Terminals
Resistant to collision from fishing vessels and trawlers, it protects the integrity of harbor infrastructure and reduces downtime caused by hull damage.
Temporary Berthing & Emergency Rescue
Deployable as a portable fendering solution for temporary construction sites, disaster relief operations, or military vessel temporary berthing, offering flexible and rapid impact protection.
