Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fender Marine Ship Fenders With Chain And Tyre Net

Fendercare pneumatic rubber fender is installed on the dock or ship, to absorb the collision energy between the ship and the dock or ship when berthing or mooring, and to protect the ship and the dock from damage.
Pneumatic rubber fender has the advantages of low reaction force, small surface pressure and reasonable energy absorption. In berthing, the ship rolling and pitching adaptability, it will not affected by the size of the ship and is widely used for installation and maintenance convenient, especially suitable for the dock.

Structure of pneumatic rubber fender

1. Outer Rubber
Cover outside on the fender of rubber layer, which is used to protect skeleton material and inner rubber layer from damage of external force.
2. Synthetic cord reinforced rubber layer
Reinforced cord rubber layer is composed of winding synthetic cord layer, it is mainly used for maintain the internal air pressure.
3. Inner Rubber
On the ball inside the rubber layer, which is used to prevent air leakage and control the fender pressure.
4. End Flange
The metal parts at both ends of fender, which can be fitted with charging valve and safety valve

Factors on design and selection of pneumatic rubber fender

1. Maximum energy absorption
2. Reaction force
3. The distance requirements when two ships berth or one ship goes alongside wharf, including the maximum distance and the minimum distance
4. The size of vessels
5. The factors on storm from real environments and temperature changes.

Features of pneumatic rubber fender

1.Ease of handling and good buoyancy

2.Low surface pressure with low reaction and high energy

absorption Rate

3.Easy installation & maintenance free

4.Exceptional compression and elasticity

5.Purpose apt with the Large and small tides

6.Pneumatic fenders facilitate large stand-off

Pneumatic rubber fender installation

1.Ship to Ship
After selection of the correct size fender suitable for the combined energy of the two vessels, the fenders should be equally spaced along the length of the smallest vessel. At each end it is recommended that a smaller secondary fender is installed to protect against rolling due to swell and wind during transfer operations. The fenders can be slung individually from mooring points along the deck or all linked together in a line fastened only at each end of the vessel.

2.Ship to Shore
For installation in tidal locations it is recommended that the fender is mounted to the quay at the midpoint of high and low tide, this allows the fender to rise and fall on tides with the least amount of slack in the moorings. Alternatively the fenders can be slung from mooring points along the top of the quay including mooring rings, mooring bollards or specially installed brackets. If the fenders are installed on a dolphin then the mooring lines can be installed along the side walls of the dolphin moving them well clear of the berthing surface. It is important to note that the fender will significantly change shape under full compression so a sufficient flat surface clear of protrusions is required for installation. It is not recommended to install pneumatic fenders onto mono-pile structures.

Application of pneumatic rubber fender

1. Offshore platform
2. Oil and gas tankers

3. Fast ferries and aluminium vessels

4. Temporary and permanent installations

5. Rapid response and emergencies

6. In ports with extreme tidal variations

7. Fishing vessel, transport ship and ocean trawler

Use attention of pneumatic rubber fender

*Frequently check whether the fender body is damaged and whether the pressure is normal,and the valve core must be replaced every six moths
*The steel wire should wrap the rubber pipe,when trying steel wire to pneumatic rubber fender in case the fender is stabbed
*The surface or subject next to the pneumatic rubber fender can’t be hard and sharp-pointed in case the pneumatic rubber fender is stabbed
*The accessories and jigs nuts can’t be loose when testing the internal pressure
*The rope net should be reliable,the steel wire used for hanging metal parts and the hook link can’t be tied in disorder.
