ISO17357-1:2014 Specifications Pneumatic Fenders STS Dock Floating CTN Type

Description

When mooring under rough weather conditions, Pneumatic fenders allow gentle initial contact with a gradual increase of reaction force and large allowable deflection, meaning vessels and moorings are protected even under rough weather conditions.

Since the development of the first pneumatic rubber fender by DockFender, the company has kept an unprecedented position as market leader in the production and innovation of Pneumatic fenders for maritime purposes. The quality, durability and undisputed reputation of our Pneumatic fenders.

Pneumatic fenders, also known as floating fenders, are used as a bumper to absorb the impact of a large ship, tanker or vessel berthing a dock, or during a ship-to-ship transfer operation. All Pneumatic fenders comply ISO 17357 standards and have excellent energy absorption characteristics.
