High Energy Absorption of Yokohama Pneumatic Fenders for Ship-to-Ship Transfers Offshore Drilling
Description
Yokohama Pneumatic Fender is a specialized marine fender that is widely used to protect ships, ports, and offshore structures during berthing and mooring operations. It is designed with a unique construction of layers of reinforced rubber to provide high strength and durability. The fender's pneumatic design allows it to absorb impact, energy, and forces during berthing operations, protecting the ship and port from damage.
Yokohama Pneumatic Fender has a number of advantages compared to conventional fenders. It is easy to install and can be quickly inflated, making it ideal for rapid response situations. The fender's pneumatic design enables it to adjust to varying vessel size and impact, providing optimal protection in different conditions. It also provides superior energy absorption capacity, making it ideal for protecting ships and structures even in severe weather conditions.
Yokohama Pneumatic Fender is used widely in ports and harbors, offshore platforms, and shipyards worldwide. It is an essential safety feature for ships and structures, providing reliable protection during berthing and mooring operations. With its superior strength and durability, Yokohama Pneumatic Fender has become a preferred choice for many marine engineers and operators.
