Marine Rubber Fenders

Marine Rubber Fenders are protective devices made from natural or synthetic rubber, designed to absorb and reduce the impact force between vessels and port structures such as docks and piers. These fenders are installed at berths to ensure safe docking and undocking of ships.

Applications of Marine Rubber Fenders

With excellent elasticity and high load resistance, Marine Rubber Fenders provide effective solutions such as:

• Impact protection: Marine fenders absorb and disperse collision forces, minimizing damage to ships during docking and mooring.
• Enhanced durability: Fenders reduce wear and tear on vessels, extending their operational lifespan.
• Noise reduction: Rubber fenders minimize noise generated during vessel impact with port structures, creating a quieter working environment.
• Improved safety: Fenders help reduce accidents and protect assets during docking operations.

Types of Marine Rubber Fenders

Today, the market offers a wide variety of marine fenders. Depending on geographical location and operational requirements, different fender solutions can be selected to ensure optimal performance.

UPi Fender

The UPi Marine Fender was developed to meet the demand for upgrading and modernizing the maritime industry, enhancing efficiency and safety for large vessels, especially those over 30,000 DWT.
Featuring an external steel frame covered with UHMW-PE panels and supported by dual rubber legs, the UPi fender provides superior stability under angled compression and ensures maximum protection for large vessels.

Pneumatic Fenders – Floating Air Rubber Fenders

Pneumatic fenders are cylindrical fenders filled with air, with hemispherical ends, allowing them to float and adapt to different conditions. They offer many advantages over conventional fenders, including easy installation, high mobility, low maintenance costs, excellent heat resistance, and long durability.

Main applications:

• Ship-to-ship (STS) transfers and offshore mooring.
• Oil tankers and LNG carriers at port facilities.

Lambda Fender – A-Type, V-Type, SX, SV Rubber Fenders

Lambda fenders are advanced rubber fenders with higher energy absorption and lower reaction force compared to traditional types. They are easy to install, replace, and widely used in busy ports.

The design features an A-shape structure with a hollow center, directly anchored to the quay wall with bolts and fixings.
