Dia2.5m L5.5m oil tanker barge use berthing pneumatic fender

Pneumatic marine fender which is made of synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber sheet with compressed air inside to enable it to float on the water and work as a shock absorb between two ships (ship-to-ship), or between ships and berthing structures when they come alongside each other on the water.

Specification of pneumatic marine fender

1.Net Type
Net-type fenders are covered with a chain net, wire net or fiber net for small size fenders. Usually these nets have used-tires together with rubber sleeves for additional protection, except fiber net which has only rubber sleeves. Chain nets last longer against corrosion, while wire nets are light and more easily repaired.
2.Sling Type
Sling-type fenders Φ500×1000L - Φ4500×9000L have an attachment eye on each end for lifting and installation. Handling of sling type fenders is easy due to their lightweight.

(1) High energy absorption
The amount of energy absorbed is the main technical performance indicators fender instruments. With the ship's tonnage growth, berthing operations, ship collision energy contact quay or other ships also doubled. Huge collision energy must rely on the contact area on the fender and enough to absorb sufficient deformation. Fenders use compressed air as the buffer medium to absorb ship impact energy and have good elasticity.

(2) Ultra low back pressure
The inside air of pneumatic fenders is low pressure gas, the internal pressure increase is very limited during compression deformation. Due to the large contact area, unit pressure acting on the ship hull surface is very low, compared with other fender instruments, is not the common low back pressure.

(3) Inclined contact, good adaptability
Ship must have certain angle which have the possibility of contacting the side of the shore. As the inclined interface of pneumatic fender, its adaptability is much higher than other fender.

(4)Floating performance is good, not subject to tidal influence, fender can be maintained in the ideal level
Pneumatic marine fenders floating on the water surface (more than 50% of the volume), along with the change of position is not relative to the tidal fluctuation. Especially the ship as the waves rolling, cylindrical inflatable fenders with rolling, the friction force is very small. So it will not damage the coating surface of the hull, and also decrease the moving.

(5) Both end fender flange produced by special materials, acid and alkali resistance, oxidation resistance, not easy to rust.

(6)Florescence pneumatic marine fenders install easily and widely used in a variety of ships, large dock and a large variety of tidal dock.

Pneumatic marine fenders are suitable for many applications including:
*Tankers, Gas Carriers and Bulk Cargo Ships;
*Fast ferries and aluminum hulled vessels;
*Temporary of permanent installations;
*Rapid response and emergency fendering;
*As stand-off fenders to realign ships with shore facilities.
