Florescence pneumatic rubber fender has been in use for around 50 years. lt is the leading anti-collision device for marine application in the world. This compressed air filled rubber fender is used as a protective medium for ship to ship contact (STS), ship to quay (STQ) and ship-to-berthing (STB). Yokohama pneumatic rubber fender can be delivered in various sizes and types. Chain and tyre net (CTN) type is usually recommended to protect the fender body, but sling type or body only is also available.

 

 

 

 

Florescence pneumatic rubber fender is constructed of four parts.

 

1.Outer rubber

Rubber layer that covers the outside of the fender to protect the cord layers and the inner liner rubber from abrasion and other external forces.

 

2.Cord layers

Layer made of synthetic-tyre-cord fabric, which maintains the internal air pressure of the fender.

 

3. Inner rubber

Liner of a rubber membrane that seals the pressurized air inside the fender.

 

4. Flange opening

Steel flange which is mounted on the fender, to which an air valve or safety valve can be adapted.

 

Florescence hydro-pneumatic fender is a special configuration of the pneumatic fender developed for submarine，catamarans, semi- submersible platforms and drilling rigs. They contact fenders be low waterline, require a unique solution. Hydro-pneumatic fender is specially adapted to this application. The fender body is partially water-filled, then pressurized with air and ballasted to make it stand vertically, fender draft and performance can be tuned by altering the water: air ratio and inflation pressure.
